I’m looking for a 46″ or 50″ big screen TV. My budget is around $900 – $1100. I’m not to concerned with the type of TV, wether it’s LCD, Plasma or Projection. Although, this new TVs main purpose is for gaming, so it must have HDMI and at least 720p. I’m also worried about latency as I’ve read that some newer televisions can be a little slow to display the image due to the image processing that takes place. Does anyone have any good recomendations as to a tv brand or type that fills all these criteria and is within my budget? I’m not opposed to purchasing online although I still want to stay within my budget after tax and shipping fees.

my husband and i have a 42″ projection screen tv with an entertainment center. we need it shipped from beverly,ma to waverly,oh. packaged it would be about 50″ long,30″wide and 48″tall. it also weighs about 60 lbs.(im guessing) we also are planning on getting insurance for it. we value the tv at about $2000 but it may be less
what would be the best and cheapest way to ship it?
we do not want to get rid of the tv.our plan is to ship the tv here and get rid of the tv we have now since we pay on it through rent to own which would also lower our payments on everything else we’re paying on

Which is best for the money? I’ve narrowed it down to the KDL-52XBR4, KDL-52W3000, and KDS-60A3000. The KDL-52XBR4 and KDL-52W3000 seem almost identical. Are the minor differences worth the extra $500? Also, the KDS-60A3000 is the biggest and cheapest out of these. But is it really true that for rear projection tv’s the bulb needs to be replaced every couple of years?

We’ve had a Magnavox 46″ Projection for about 15 years. I bought a PS3 last winter. We are looking into HDTV’s. Let me tell you now that gaming and general tv viewing will be the main uses of the HDTV. I wont be using it for PC Hookup. It will be placed in our living room, which receives average light on sunny days though we have curtains to darken the room. I would prefer an HDTV that has very fast response time, 1080p, and high contrast ratio. Also, if we get an HDTV, we will be getting HD from Directv as well. My question is what HDTV type is best for GAMING AND GENERAL VIEWING, MY TOP PREFERENCES. LCD or Plasma? I’m not concerned with burn-in so dont reply with lcd because of burn in. Most of the Tv’s now come in with burn-in protected abilities. I wont leave my screen on for a long period of time. So, again, Which HDTV type is best for gaming and general viewing, plasma or LCD?

We will be buying a big screen tv (probably around 52″) soon and don’t know what is the best. We have heard that the plasma tvs don’t last as long and the ones we have looked at are higher in price. We are looking for something that is not huge in size like some of the rear projection models but want a big screen with good picture without an outrageous price. Any tips?

I have a PS3 and an older CRT HDTV (JVC 34″ 1500i set) and its time to get an upgrade. I want the best set for HD gaming. I need 1080p and I don’t want a plasma. I prefer the LCD or rear-projection with LED lamp. I am thinking the Samsung tv’s with 160fps would be best. Also, don’t just tell me you think your TV looks best, give me some technical back-up to convince me which brand and model is the ULTIMATE HD set for my PS3.
It may not be 160fps it may be 120fps, but I know its over 100 for those Samsung tv’s
Also, the bigger the screen the better, and price is not a big concern.
As I said in my main details, I don’t want plasma, and thats because of the burn-in problem. I appreciate the explanation. I used to be a TV repair man about 4 years ago, but I havent been up-to-date on the newer technologies. So, yeah, plasma sucks big fat donkey ballz, but what about the RGB LED backlit DLP’s? I am not a huge fan of the DLP chip (1 million+ tiny moving mirrors sounds like problems waiting to happen to me) and I used to want the JVC HD-ILA set because it had the 3 LCD light engine, but I dont think that is top of the line any more… Give me some real technical input here folks!!

..For a rear-projection 51 inch television, also have a DVD player and satellite DVR hooked up
I would also like to know the name of the adapter that allows you to connect PC speakers to the television. I use to have my Klipsch 5.1’s hooked up to my TV but lost the adapter.

I want to upgrade my 27″ Magnavox tube t.v. to a LCD t.v.. I want to upgrade because i play a lot of games, currently Xbox 360, nes and soon the wii and PS3. So i want to have a TV that i can play my games in the highest resolution that the systems support. I am looking for a LCD because i don’t have money for a plasma, and i don’t like rear projections. So only LCD’s. I was looking at the samsung 26″ LCD TV which i think is the xbox 360’s signature TV. So can you please tell me the best TV i can get in my price limit that plays all of the resolutions my games can play. Thank you!
