Best Projection TVs

I have a rear projection high definition tv that is able to produce 1080i. The thing is that I can only connect one device to those component inputs. I was looking at some component switch boxes but not sure what to get. I don’t want anything expensive.

Some reviews on the switchers I’ve seen before explained there were darker than usual scenes in movies, fast action scenes would stall, green screens, and majorly the quality of the screen will go down and look blurry.

I also read that the component switcher should have a power supply with it to reach the definition of anything from 720p to 1080i.

I’ve been looking at these two Philips models. One of them is a manual switch and the other is an automatic switcher. I read that both aren’t great but then I found out Philips came out with another switcher as the automatic, just different model:

Philips Automatic HD Switcher SWS2326W/17

Can someone tell me what’s good to buy that works and is cheap? I’m willing to spend $50 for something that’d actually work – manual or automatic. I just want to hook up my dvd player, DVR and Xbox 360 to the component input so I can watch everything at 1080i instead of 480i/p. And yes, all those devices can handle 1080i.

it was originally a $10,000 TV but I want to get rid of it and i would like to get something out of it. It works good looks good and is digital ready. thanks
I had it special ordered and it cost $10,000 it says it is a 1080 and it isn’t the kind of tv you can just go pick up at best buy. It doesn’t get much use now that the kinds have been out of the house for a few years. I expect the value to be a lot lower then I bought it for but I don’t want to give it away for free.

Projection TVs are much cheaper than either wall mounted plasma screens or LCDs, and there’s no danger they’ll crash to the floor. You can carry the projector around easily and to set it up, all you need do is hang a white sheet on the wall. What advantages do large flat-screen TVs have?

I bought the tv back in march of 06, and I have not had any problems with it yet. But I have heard people are having lamp issues with it, so I am worried that I may have the same problems. I bought it for 2500, and was wondering if you guys think it was a good deal at the time. I bought it at costco and it came with the stand. I am curious also if that model was the correct one for the time I bought it. Which was march of 06. I hear people saying that they bought there in mid 05, and was wondering if I bought a year old model that I payed the full price for. Anyone who has either bought this tv or has info on it info on it, I would like your thoughts..Thank you very much

I have already tried using wax paper and a bed sheet as a screen, but i was wondering if anyone else has found better solution. the original screens were kicked in during a break in.

I have a Philips projection screen (not sure about the size I’d say diaganol the screen is about 45″) with a max output of 1080i and an HDMI capable reciever.

At Circuit City one time I saw a Blu Ray playing on a 1080p TV and it looked amazing and I was wondering if I would notice a significant decrease in quality if I played them on my PS3 on a 1080i?

I’m searching for an HD TV to purchase in the lower thousand range. Nothing crazy but want to get my money’s worth. Samsung 46″ and 50″ are what I’m looking and definitely do not want plasma. Is 780p really that bad or is it where technology is at right now and the 1080p and i are ahead of their time?!?

I have just bought a Sony Bravia 3LCD (KF-42E200A) Projection TV and I want to know how good the High-Definition is. Is it 720p or 1080p or whatever? Would it be great at playing Blu-Ray or PlayStation 3? Can you get better hi-def?
