Best Projection TVs

the lamp light flashes for a while and then the temp/ power and lamp lights all flash and then it reboots. cycle continues

i have a 56″ rear projection hdtv from jvc, model # 56g886. I was told the lamp would run out after about 2,000 hours of use. After using it for maybe 4 hours a day for one year, i tried to turn it on and it wouldnt turn on, just the led and the power light were blinking rapidly. According to JVC’s website, this means the lamp has burnt out. I tried turning the tv on again, and now it works fine. Does this mean my lamp is close to going out, or just a freak coincidence? I would rather not order a lamp if nothings wrong, as they run about $300. But I also don’t want to wait a week with no tv while a new lamp is in the mail. Thanks for your time!!!!

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.

i was looking at an HD projector that costs 900-1000 but was wondering if it would be better or equal to an LCD HDTV of a similar price. i will be using it for watching TV and movies. i will have it in a somewhat dark room and use a grey projector screen. unless a white screen would be better. would i be better off getting a 50″ lcd tv or would the 100″ projector screen make it worth it? here’s some info on the projector:
The Optima HD20 operates at a native 1080p resolution (1920 x 1080 pixels), while it also is compatible with most computer formats, such as UXGA, WXGA, SXGA+, SXGA, XGA, SVGA, VGA resized, VESA, PC and Macintosh It can also accept common global video inputs and video formats up to 1080p (HDTV, EDTV, SDTV, NTSC, PAL, SECAM). Like all Optoma projectors, the DLP engine operates without filters, keeping ownership and maintenance costs low while ensuring consistent performance throughout the projector’s life. The projection lamp is rated to last up to 4000 hours in standard mode or 3000 hours in bright mode. The HD20 also incorporates a rapid shutdown feature that further reduces ownership costs, and it comes with a one-year parts and labor warranty, with the lamp being covered for 90 days.

went and finally talked my wife into buying a new hd tv. i got it to 2 sets the sony 55″ lcd projection wega, or the 57 ” mitsu dlp projection. after the deliberation i went with mitsubishi because of the over all sharper picture and the little bigger screen. now im not disappointed at all in my tv, ive had it two weeks and i think it puts out beautiful picture , but my question to u guys is is the tv i bought a better tv than the sony i mentioned before? im not very familiar with the dlp vs. sxrd technology and really dont know which one is better and more durable. ive also heard that the mitsu is not really a full” 1080p! resolution. please help me guys and let me know if i made a bad decision or not i still have time to fix it if the sony is a better tv in the long haul???? the model no. for the sony tv is KDS55A2000 and the model for the tv i bought is WD-57731 if anyone needs that info the model no. for the mitsu is in the title thanks guys

Hello,

I’m very happy with my KDF-60WF655 which I bought newly refurbished from a Sony repair shop for $400 (all new Sony guts!). I typically frown on rear-projection, yet I’m able to see the picture great from almost any angle in my living room and the picture size is huge!

My only disappointment came when I learned that I cannot get 1080p on this set. Is this correct? I was really looking forward to getting a Blu-Ray player. Am I wasting my time with Blu-Ray if my TV can’t do 1080p?

Thank you.

HELP! ok I bought the samsung 50inch dlp hdtv (projection) I had it installed with regulard standard direct tv
well the picture I have to say looks horrible. Even when I plug in my dvd player (which is not hd, its cheap) my dvd picture looks horrible. How can I make the picture look better

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?

a 65 inch dlp projection hdtv, 1080p, 3 hdmi, etc. $1800.00
or
47 inch LCD HDTV 1080p , 2 hdmi, etc. $1100.00

Both TV’s look great, however i hear that DLP’s arent as good as LCD’s because of when your sitting at an angle, but i wont be sitting at an angle all the time, I love the DLP for its size of the screen, and i Love the LCD for its slimness and great clear picture from any angle, and if i dont have an HD recieve will my games not play in HD. Please answer i’m hooking up consoles to these so if you can help, thank you
