well,I did it...projection big screen went out bought a 50 inch plasma
suprised the whole family.
our Big Projection screen bit the dust, and I brought the 27 inch to the living room and told the family that they woudl have to be satisfied with this for now becasue there jsut wasn't money in the budget for a new TV. They handled it like troopers and I went to the tv store and got a 50 inch plasma betting I don't get "aftershave" for valentines day Dad got hosed (from the verizon network commercial) |

Front projection is the way to go, if you can find a nice screen.

In 10 years, most people will probably be using SED TVs over most formats anyway...it offers you the color richness and response times of CRTs with the form factor of LCDs

Bought a 65" mitsubishi dlp for the parents... Best picture for the money..
The main reason why I would not buy a plasma is the resolution for highdef they are all 720, I am not paying that much for a tv that is not 1080.. Lcd's are nice and cheaper but the pictures are not as bright as plasma even though you do get 1080.. So DLP, best of both worlds.. 1080 and cheaper then both.. Not really wall mountable but I do not care about a tv on a wall and running the cables thru the wall to make it look halfway clean... |
