Best Projection TVs

Looking to buy a new tv, but want one that won’t die or be obsolete in 5 years. I’ve heard repairs on DLP are cheaper than most.

I’m looking to buy a DLP tv. I’ve narrowed it down to two models from My local electronics store. First is a 60 inch mitsubishi, second is a 50 inch Samsung. The 60 inch is a rear projection, while the 50 inch is a front projection. Other than size and price, That’s the big difference. And I’m not sure what way to go. Naturally, I’m thinking the 60 inch only because of the size, but the 50 inch would fit in the room better, since it has to go up a staircase with a sharp turn. Then, of course the 50 inch is about $300.00 cheaper. So is there a better version of the DLP style TV? Front, or Rear Projection?
P.S. I do specifically want a DLP TV, Not an LCD or Plasma. (personal preference)

I have a 60 inches projection, which the picture quality has been going worst . brightness doesn’t help much, contrast make the picture looks darker and the light lamp is getting lighter and lighter, is there anyway I can fix this problem or is it just time to buy me a new tv.?

I know there is a size difference and you pay more for a flat screen, but I want to know can I get the same quality out of this Sony 60″ than I can with an LCD flat panel?

Not considering price .. what TV is better:

Sony 60″ 1080p Rear-Projection SXRD HDTV
Mitshubishi 65″ 1080p Rear-Projection WD-65733

Consider quality not always size …

I have a 57″ 1080i projection TV. I have a HD tuner with direct tv and the picture is phenominal. Looking into buying a blu-ray player soon too. Is it worth the money to upgrade my tv to a bit smaller lcd or plasma with 1080p capabilities? Is the improvement worth $1500-$2500 ?

I have an old 2.1 stereo system hooked up to my tv. I am creating a home theater with a projection screen and all.

I want to upgrade to a 5.1 system. I see alot of theater in a box solutions but they don’t seem to offer the versatility of a dedicated receiver. I like the idea of an all in one system with an integrated dvd, but they don’t seem to have that many inputs for other devices.

I also worry about if the DVD drive wears out, I will have to replace the whole unit or go out and add another box. Plus what if I decide to upgrade to hd dvds down the road. I also have a htpc and a Wii.

So, is a dedicated receiver is the better choice in the long run. It seems that I would want to ensure that it has hdmi as this seems to be where everything is going within the next 4 years.

(I have a nice progressive scan dvd player that I am happy with now that also plays Divx which I have many of.)

I live in Dallas and have been researching this TV for some time and have shopped Best Buy, Circuit City, Conn’s, Sears..Looking like $1999. Are there any better places I should be looking at…How about online….any good deals out their? I like the long term no interest payment plans these places offer.

2) I have Fios Cable and love it; what is the best “cable” hook up I should use? ie. hdmi,component,(does it really matter)…Where should I buy this cable?

3) Many say no, but should I buy a extended warranty?

4) Do the HD channels utilize the full capabilty of the TV, ie the 1080p or only 720p.

5) Can you explain the Lines per inch with the DVD upgrade and the Blu Ray units?

Thanks in advance and have a great day!!.

I am shopping for a new TV. I want one that has 1080p technology, but these seem to be very expensive. I’ve noticed that the rear projection TV’s cost less. What’s the difference?
