Best Projection TVs

The lamp light is blinking yellow and it wont turn on.What is wrong?

ok, so i have this crappy akai projection tv model number akai PT4799HD and everything on the screen glaring green and yellow. Everything on the screen has a greeinish shadow, none of the lamps are out i allready checked but i dont know what else to do. Also like if there are letters on the green it would have a green shadow all around it.. any ideas?

Sony kf-60we610 LCD projection TV has blue horseshoe shaped color on top of screen. replaced lamp, no change. still image of previous input like dvd menu or Wii menu displayed as translucent blue horseshoe image at top of screen.

i am a college student looking for a good tv for a cheap price don’t have much to spend but dont want a small one is there a site that has cheap tvs i would love hd for my 360 and a big screen but need something affordable.and whats wrong with the projection tvs i was going to buy one and everyone tells me no??

i have a 46 inch projection tv and it just started saying the projection lamp is nearing the end of life and please replace it. the tv is about 4 years old and i have not seen any picture problems. how long do the bulbs last normally and how much longer will mine last?? im hoping for atleast another month till tax return time………

I am pretty sure I’m going to get an LCD for the smaller set, because I haven’t seen a plasma in the 20–27″ range (too small I quess?).
As for the 42″+ set I’m looking for a plasma or LCD. Leaning toward LCD because it seems to have less glare, and richer color spectrum (though many may dissagree.)

First of all I’m not interested in projection, DLP, or tube sets.

Anyway, here’s my questions for those knowledgable about new TV’s. Thank you very much in advance:
1. Plasma or LCD?
2. HDTV w/ 1080, a necessary? For now or the near future?
3. Is 1080 i or 1080p better? (I read that the “i & p” represent it’s the way pixels are laid out on the screen. proggresive or interlaced.) I saw JPEGS of how each one works. It said that “proggresive was smoother , but never really mention if was was better, or newer, or considerd superior?
4) I was also wonderig about people’s fav brands or if they own one, how they like it, etc – tnx

Okay, I would really love some input from the experts on this one. I have the Sony KDS-R50XBR1 Rear Projection, I believe it was the very first SXRD that Sony made. To my knowledge, the models that followed were not XBR though, which I figured gave my model a little extra edge picture quality wise. Now that its been a few years I was considereing upgrading to the new KDS-55A3000 Model. I’m sure its not going to be a huge difference but I would still like to know what someone with experience with both models thinks. My TV has been ISF calibrated and has a great picture, I was just wondering how much I would gain by going for the newer model. I also remember that my tv was sold as a 1080p set but it actually cannot receive a 1080p signal, however it can display a 1080p signal. I was a little confused by that. But I realize i’d be getting the full 1080p with the newer set, but it may not really be worth if the picture quality isnt much different. Just kinda wanted some feedback.

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

Looking at 50″ Sony Grand Wega LCD Projetion HDTV and a Samsung 50″ DLP Projection HDTV. The differences that I seen in them, is of course, the different technologies (DLP and LCD), the resolution (Sony-720p Samsung-1080p) and the price difference (Sony-1499 Samsung-1799). Its looks to me that the resolution is lower, therfore the t.v. is lower in price, but is there really that , much difference when your watching it? Also, is the DLP technnology that much better than an LCD t.v.?

I just bought a PS3 and my 10 year old 19inch Toshiba just isn’t cutting it. So I have about $850 to spend on a new one…

Problem is I don’t know what any of these new terms mean. What’s 1080p? or is it 1080i? Are there lower levels like 780 or something and what’s the difference? What does this mean?

HDTV is obvious right (I think). But what’s with LCD or Plasma? Or projection? What’s the difference?

And what about brands. I’m going to buy brand name so is there a brand that will work better with my PS3? What brand has the best sound quality?

It’s obvious that I don’t know anything about TVs these days so any advice will be much appreciated!

(If you happen to live in Vancouver and know any place that has good deals on TVs then please let me know… Thanks!)
Will I need a receiver box or special cables or anything like that or just plug in my cable and play? What’s an HDMI cable?

What’s a store that has Vizio?
What is EDTV???
