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 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?

Plasma, TV has vivid colors, fast refresh and great contrast? Plasma TVs are the TVs that mostly likely catch your eye as you stroll down the aisle in your local best buy. Plasma TVs have exceptionally bright, distinct and vibrant colors.

But as with most good things in life there is a downside to consider. Plasma TVs have high power consumption and a relatively short lifespan. But then again you may well be buying a newer type of higher technology TV yet again in the future. After all having the latest TV technology has become an essential status symbol in many if not most middle class American homes. If you only wanted a TV you could of well gone to Wal-Mart or Costco and purchased a very acceptable picture older CRT TV very inexpensively.

Some tests have shown that the ability for a plasma display to show true black decreases by 13% over the first four weeks. Over a period of a few years this could show blacks as light grays in your image.

The high power consumption may not bother you if you don’t mind paying a bit more for your electric bill, but the real issue just as in laptop computers is the amount heat generated and the damage done to these electronic devices and the screen of your new and very expensive plasma TV by that heat.
.
The heat comes from the million tiny fluorescent tubes on a heavy glass substrate that produces the image. This design is also part of the longevity issue. The high heat produced in a small area burns out the phosphors sooner than the phosphor on a traditional CRT. And, in tying everything together, this can also result in image burn-in especially on channels that display their logo continuously in the lower right corner.

LCD TVs are much less expensive than plasma, but also tend not to have pictures that are as sharp or bright. The other downside to LCD displays is that the pixels are relatively slow to change state. Fast moving objects such as a hockey puck or baseball bat get blurred where they might show more crisply on a plasma or good quality CRT.

Projection TVs are yet another option. Projection TV technology now produces much sharper, more vivid images that in previous years with deeper blacks that rival the CRT, and beat most of the plasma and LCD displays. This is the way to go for display sizes of 50 inches or greater.

The main drawback for any of the projection technologies is the lamp used as the light source. The typical metal halide projector lamp only lasts 1000 to 2000 hours and can cost several hundred dollars to replace. Longer life span lamps called ultra high performance (UHP) have recently come on the market that use mercury vapor instead of argon and have lifespan ranging from 3,000 to 10,000 hours.

Most consumers use their TVs on an average basis of 1,000 hours a year. That means that if the bulb is in the range of $ 300 – $ 500 dollars the cost of “running the projection TV” at a rough guide of 1,000 hours of use per bulb is several hundred dollars a year. The projections of bulb longevity are often done in best case not scenarios not the ordinary setup where the homeowner may even impair the ventilation of heat accidentally by TV and furniture placement chosen by the wife for appearance rather than electronic longevity.

Not so conceptually the projection TV bulbs seem to be very proprietary bulbs sold by the projection TV manufacturer. Bulbs for Sony projection TVs are made and distributed only by Sony. You may find a less expensive bulb say a Hitachi. However it is a judgment call. The Sony bulbs although more expensive are much more popular and easy to find on eBay – even used bulbs. But projection TV bulbs are very fragile and may not survive shipment by mail.

As with LCD display, manufacturers are moving towards high intensity LED technology to replace lamps and get lifespan measured in years. Of course, that technology is not cheap, but prices should come down as they become more available in the next several years.

On the horizon we can look forward tothe next tound on new high tech type of TVs- SEDs. What is SED?

SED is Surface-conduction Electron-emitter Display. These should be coming on the market in about 2008/2009. Japan will probably start seeing them by the end of 2007. They are a flat panel display, much like the LCD displays now, but have characteristics resembling that of the CRT for contrast and image quality. This comes from basis of the design: each pixel is basically a tiny CRT. It uses less energy than plasma since it’s easier to generate an electron beam (as a CRT does) than it is to excite photons in a gas (as the plasma display does).

There is no production display of SED TVs yet available. As well there is no data yet for other performance or reliability factors.

In the end enjoy your purchase. You may well purchase a plasma TV now, pay it off, confess you really enjoyed the plasma TV and yet purchase yet again the newer SED TV for your home for its better, more advanced picture and as a status symbol for your home. It never ends.

When I was growing up, televisions where making the transition from black and white to color, and oh what a marvelous day that was. Everything seems to come to life and I no longer felt like a dog watching television, (dog’s see in black and white). It wasn’t soon after that, that television screens started to get larger and larger and with this the price of televisions increased immensely. Technology started to improve and everyone had to have the best television in town. It was now becoming a status symbol to have the highest upgraded T.V.

Fast forward to today, times have not changed, in fact television has spawned into new horizons as the arrival of HDTV and WebTV have entered the market. More choices give consumers more opportunities to empty their wallets and pay for the next big television. In the early 1990’s projection television and home theaters were the big thing. This TV was comprised bulbs with primary colors that operated like a movie projector. These TV’s where quite large, and where perfect for the introduction for expensive home theaters.

In the later 1990’s flat screen television was new thing and this was also a great day for television owners, the days of a convex TV screen were coming to an end and consumers realized that this was not a gimic for us to buy more TV, but the picture actually looked much better. These new screens would set someone back around 1500-5000 dollars depending on how large you wanted the tv screen. Later, smaller and even compact TVs were offered at a much cheaper price; around 3-400 dollars. But TV didn’t stop there, in order to keep the market circulating, technology needed to increase so engineers went to work and then released the next big wave in the new century; Plasma TV.

Plasma and digital television provided us with a wondering viewing experience as well as the picture was highly improved. In watching this you actually felt like it was real as everything on screen took shape, now TV was competing with movie theaters. Carmike and other large companies realized this and also worked on improving the quality of their motion pictures. They don’t stand up to the new Plasma or a 17 inch LCD screen, but it is a definite improvement.

The old Televisions are gone, and you would be hard pressed to find a black and white TV, but oh the experience of owning a plasma screen TV, this is an experience you definitely do not want to miss!
