I'm looking for a new HDTV,I wanted an LCD, but I want a TV larger than 60 inches. What do you recommend?

Q. If there is an LCD HDTV that is 60 inches to 65 inches that would be great, but I also want a quality TV. Are there any HDTVs over 60 inches? If not which would be my next best choice? Anything smaller would just not be suitable in my living room because the TV is far from everything else. Thanks in advance

A. There are several 60- to 65-inch flat-panel LCD HD monitors and TVs available (see the HDTV Solutions resource listed below.) However, other than Sharp�s LC65D64U and Olevia�s 265T FHD HDTVs, they are quite expensive, especially when compared to the more cost-effective, large screen alternatives such as plasma displays and front projection systems.

Within a fairly reasonable price range for the 57- to 65-inch class of flat panel displays I recommend that you give strong consideration to models from Panasonic (model TH-58PZ800U) and Pioneer (models PRO-151FD or PDP-6010FD.) As a distant choice you may want to take a look at the Samsung PN63A650 and PN58A650 plasma HDTVs, perhaps even models from Hitachi and LG Electronics.

For close to the price of a high quality, high performance, large screen flat-panel (plasma) display you can purchase a much more versatile, arguably better performing, front projector IF you have the ability to reasonably control the ambient light in your viewing environment. If you choose to go this route then you will have a multitude of good, cost-effective choices that will allow you to obtain a high quality, theater-like video image in the 65- to 100-inch size range. My top choice/recommendation is JVC�s DLA-RS2U D-ILA (LCoS) projector followed by JVC�s DLA-RS1X and DLA-HD100 D-ILA projectors with honorable mention going to Sony�s VPL-VW60 (great performer but not much light output hence a smaller-than-average screen size is best) and Epson�s Home Cinema 1080 UB and Pro Cinema 1080 UB 3LCD projectors. There are also several good (single-chip) DLP projectors that may also be worth considering particularly if ambient light control is an issue, in which case you should take a close look at Optoma�s impressive HD81-LV projector. It�s also worth noting that several of these home theater projectors can be used with an aftermarket anamorphic lens/prism attachment* (Schneider Optics, Panamorph, or the do-it-yourself CAVX Aussiemorphic Lens kit) to project an immersive, theater-like 2.35:1 video image when watching movies.

There is one notable drawback with a projection system, especially if you will be using such a system for all of your day-to-day television viewing, and that is the cost of maintenance; specifically the cost of periodic relamping. If you are able to keep your viewing environment sufficiently light-free, thereby allowing you to run the projector more conservatively in terms of light output, then you may be able to extend the relamping intervals saving yourself money.

Is this 65" too pricy?

Q. I saw this mad cool 65" aquos LCD HDTV.
So i called 6th Avenue to ask them for a quote and they said
$5,500. This TV looks pretty good but i'm not really sure about the price. Do you think this is a good quote?

Or if it's not where could i get a similar 55"-65" tv for a better price?

p.s. My cousin works at 6th avenue so i might get some sort of discount or something..

A. The first poster is correct, you can shop around for a bit better price. In this size range, you should also consider a plasma. Generally, they are cheaper once you get up to this size. Finally, rear projection sets are definitely cheaper once you start talking about 65 inches.

Lcd tv or projector for movie room What speakers to purchase for surround sound?

Q. I just built a 10'-6"x18' move room. Now i have to decide a 65" lcd or install a projector on the ceiling. Also what spekers do i purchase for surround sound. I have a harmon kardon reciver already and a subwoofer.

A. This Mitsubishi WD-73737 73-Inch 1080p 120Hz Home Theater DLP HDTV is great. I was looking at LCD and DLP TVs, and the DLP offer bigger screens and the same great picture at a lower price. HDTV, Blu-Ray, DVD, etc all look great on this TV. 1080p resolution is amazing, I have an older 52 inch HDTV, which displays 1080i and this DLP looks 10 times better.

Out of the box, this DLP is very color rich, especially in the reds and yellows, which I easily corrected using the PerfectPicture Menu. I toned down all colors by 5 and the red and yellow by 10. This made the picture look a lot better.

I am using various types of connections on it (HDMI, Component, and Composite) and each input delivers a great picture. I use the HDMI to connect my PS3, component cables connect my Dish receiver and DVD player, and the composite cable connects the Wii. This TV automatically recognizes when devices are connected and allows you to name each connnection.

You can't go wrong with this one.

Original Question

which is best lcd or plasma ?

Q. I have a budget of 600 pound , have seen many lcds and many plasma tvs for that price but which is the best at the moment lcd of plasma ??

A. The choice is yours.....but hope this helps..the url was Too long...

Plasma vs LCD

The ADVANTAGES of Plasma over LCD are:

1. Larger screen size availability.

2. Better contrast ratio and ability to render deeper blacks.

3. Better color accuracy and saturation.

4. Better motion tracking (little or no motion lag in fast moving images).

The DISADVANTAGES of Plasma vs LCD include:

1. Plasma TVs are more susceptible to burn-in of static images.

2. Plasma TVs generate more heat than LCDs, due to the need to light of phosphors to create the images.

3. Does not perform as well at higher altitudes.

4. Potentially shorter display life span - this used to be the case. Early Plasmas had 30,000 hours or 8 hrs of viewing a day for 9 years, which was less than LCD. However, screen life span has now improved and 60,000 hour life span rating are now common, with some sets rated as high as 100,000 hours, due to technology improvements.

LCD television ADVANTAGES over Plasma include:

1. No burn-in of static images.

2. Cooler running temperature.

3. No high altitude use issues.

4. Increased image brightness over Plasma.

5. Lighter weight (when comparing same screen sizes) than Plasma counterparts.

6. Longer display life used to be a factor, but now LCD and Plasma sets both have at least 60,000 hour or higher lifespans.

DISADVANTAGES of LCD vs Plasma televisions include:

1. Lower contrast ratio, not as good rendering deep blacks.

2. Not as good at tracking motion (fast moving objects may exhibit lag artifacts) - However, this is improving with the recent implementation of 120Hz screen refresh rates and 240Hz processing in higher-end LCD sets.

3. Not as common in large screen sizes above 42-inches as Plasma. However, the number is growing fast, with 46 and 47-inch screen sizes becoming more common, and some LCD sets having a screen size as large as 65-inches also available to the general public.

4. Although LCD televisions do not suffer from burn-in susceptibility, it is possible that individual pixels on an LCD televisions can burn out, causing small, visible, black or white dots to appear on the screen. Individual pixels cannot be repaired, the whole screen would need to be replaced at that point, if the individual pixel burnout becomes annoying to you.

5. LCD televisions are typically more expensive than equivalent-sized Plasma televisions (although this is changing), especially when comparing EDTV Plasmas to HDTV-LCD Televisions.

Which brand of tv is better and is LCD or Plasma better?

Q. Okay, I am looking to buy a new tv to go in my bed room. I'm not really sure which tv is better to get, Plasma or LCD. I'm not looking for a huge, expensive tv, just around a 24 inch tv or 19 inch (or bigger). I don't want to spend more than 400 dollars. Another thing is which brand is better. Can you tell me what makes it better(brand and lcd or plasma). I looked around on the internet to see what people thought but it was mixed reviews and the reasons that they listed didn't make any sense to me so yea. Thanks for your help:)

A. Prices have been dropping, so $400 can probably get you a decent 32 inch LCD nowadays.
Plasmas, although they provide significantly better picture quality than LCDs, are not available in the size range you're looking for, they currently only come in 42 to 65 inch. LCD HDTVs are usually available in 19", 22", and 26" varieties.
Good brands of LCD TVs for that size range include: Sony, Samsung, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, and Sharp. Those brands have been in the industry for decades; most of those brands were early pioneers in the LCD display industry, and all of them have a good customer service network as well as good reliability records.
Brands to avoid include Apex, Viore, Apex, Dynex, Apex, Insignia, Apex, iLo, Apex, Sceptre, and any other small brand you've never heard of. (And did I mention Apex?)

Original Question

Which HDTV type is better, Plasma or LCD?

Q. I was orginally going to stick with a front projector but i've told that those have bad image quality (tell me if this is true or not and explain). They said get a HDTV that is not a Front Projection. So I am wondering what would work best for my need LCD or Plasma?

My Situation/needs are:

1. I want to be able to play my 360 in 1080p format, which is best at doing this?

2. Which will last the longest without any repairs or anything else of the sort?

Enviromental conditions:
I live in wisconsin near madison so I don't think high altitude is a problem. Plus it will be in our basement so even if it is hot out the fact that its a basement will keep it cooler. It generally isn't too humid but can be some days.
Please say more than just an opinion. In other words don't just say "plasma" or "LCD" because I want to know more behind it than your opinion.

A. LCD flatscreens are a lot lighter than Plasma TVs which weigh over a 100 lbs. Nevertheless, LCD flatscreens may have limited viewing angles and can suffer from dead pixels. Here are some LCD TVs [which are highly rated by Consumer Reports]; all are 52 inch models: Samsung LN-T5265F ($3,500); Sharp Aquos LC-52D82U ($3,500) & 47 inch LG 47LB5D ($2,500).

While Plasma TVs are very suspectible to ghosting which is the result of having a fixed image inadvertently left on the screen for a long period of time. This fixed image will literally remain as a ghost image backgrounded to the screen. Usually the solution is to install a floating screen savers which is activated when the screen is not active. Here are some plasma TVs [which are highly rated by Consumer Reports]; all are 50 inch models: Panasonic TH-50PX75U ($2,300) and Hitachi P50H401 ($2,300).

And then there are rear projection LCD's and DLP's which use mirror panels and color wheels to filter and project a very large screen image [ranging from 65" to 72" diagonally measured]. The major concern is replacement cost of lamps which usually cost between $200 - $300 and last any number of hours depending on how the TV is shut off. Failing to properly shut down either LCD or DLP units which involves leaving on the main fan running for some 20 minutes -- will result in early failure of projection lamps. And there's the added concern regarding the use of "organic" material which make up the LCD panels/mirrors and usually causes the blue panel to fade over a period of time. So you may have to look forward to purchasing a new LCD projection TV. But getting back to DLP projection TV, there is the issue of viewers seeing the dreaded "rainbow effect" which are color flashes appear in highly contrasty dark scenes. Their sighting can cause headaches and is quite annoying to the viewers. And a possible cure is to choose a color wheel which operates faster than 3X; say 4X which seems to be the threshold speed that virtually eliminates the rainbow effect. Here are some LCD/ DLP rear projection TVs [which are highly rated by Consumer Reports]; 62 inch LCD Toshiba 62HM196 ($2,800); and 56 inch DLP Toshiba Cinema Series 56HMX96 ($2,500).

Please read the following discussion since the opinion "they said, get a HDTV that is not Front Projection" is not relevant!

And finally, we should also consider the "ultimate, best" TV technology: "Front Projection."

You may well want to check out another technology: DLP front projection which produces a movie-like experience of HD television, DVDs, videos and games. And according to Consumer Reports, "front projection has a superior image -- better than CRT's, LCDs or plasma."

Check out the reviews for a "92" DLP generated [front projection] TV image at amazon.com by submitting the search query: "Infocus SP4805.*" There are any number of customer submitted pictures of projected HDTV image(s) along with other high-quality regular DVD-movie images projected on bare white wall surfaces. And the price for a refurbished ScreenPlay 4805 is about $___** with lamps costing around $330 which will last around 4,000 hours. Also check out various reviews at Consumer Reports [November 2005 & December 2006] in which front projection is rated "superior" to plasma, lcd.

What is the best and cheapest Big Screen HDTV available?

Q. 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.

A. I do in fact have a recomendation and it's one shared by most experts in the audio/visual field. At this point in time the Hitachi f59 series is the absolute best bang for the buck available on the market, bar none. LCD? Plasma? DLP? Nope, it's got every set below $3000 covered hands down in every relevant category, be it picture quality, gaming performance or maintenance cost. The fact is that CRT is still the benchmark all others are judged by and at this point in time a High Def rear projection set such as the Hitachi offers the savvy buyer all the goodies without the hassles.

The F59 series is available in 51, 57 and 65 inch screen sizes, and as to price, well lets just say that on a good sale day you can pick up the 65 for between $1000-$1200 and the 57 for $999. Personally, I'd wait for the annual 'After the Super Bowl' sales as most retailers really offer some blowout pricing at this time, many close to those of 'Black Friday'. It was 'Black Friday' which put the 51 inch version on my doorstep at $699 shipped and I couldn't be happier with this set, heck I'd have paid full price and still considered it a steal. Yes, it really IS that good! But don't just take my word for it, take a look for youself at some of the factors which lead me to this purchase.

For instance lets look at the bulbs, or should I say lack of. ALL of the others technologies require an arc lamp bulb to provide the light source and it does a wonderful job...for about two years. 18-24 months is the average life expectancy of these bulbs under normal viewing conditions, then its time for replacement at a cost of $200. Average that out over the ten plus years you'll watch your typical CRT rear projection set like the Hitachi with ZERO bulbs and you'll see just what the latest 'High Tech' is really worth.

As you're a gamer this is the best choice once again due to a few things, the foremost being response time. CRT doesn't have to measure pixel response in milliseconds because there are none, thus instant and true image representaion is there 24/7/365. This is critical when playing first person shooters such as Halo on Xbox Live as the lag associated with the other technologies allows the slightest bit of lag. Sure, a 10ms lag doesn't seem like much but it is the difference in that hitting and missing those vital split second shots, the difference between tea bagging an downed opponent or cursing yourself blue over why your 'dead on' head shot failed to take out the bad guy. Of course the fact you require an HDMI port tells me you're of the PS3 persuasion but this set does indeed have and support HDMI so that's another base covered. Oh, and screen 'Burn In' isn't really an issue either anymore so than any other set, in fact less if proper caution such as not leaving ANYTHING paused for extended periods of time are taken.

Now as far as movie watching goes I certainly hope you have access to a lot of DVDs because viewing them on this set is more addictive than heroin or internet porn. My personal collection grows by the week now, even movies I've seen a million times gain new life on this set. And as for cable, well I have digital cable and see NO reason to upgrade to HD because the Standard def stations would remain the same and the combo of digital and this TV make you swear you were watching true High Def when tuned to any of the Discovery Network channels.

I'll not even go into the realm of picture quality, suffice to say 1080i with the true blacks and true color representation only CRT can deliver is still king of the hill despite every attempt to knock it off. So go ahead and pull the trigger on one of these bad boys, I promise, you'll not be dissapointed in any way, shape or form. Good luck and happy viewing

What's the difference between Plasma and LCD?

Q. I'm purchasing a 52" television and i'm wondering what the difference is between a Plasma and and LCD HDTV. How is the picture? The LCD's are more expensive.

A. plasma is used when there is alot of LIGHT in the room. LCD in less light to no light rooms. LCD has a bulb to be easly replaced .Plasma no bulb. LCD Weighs less beacuse it does not need a thick peice of glass. You could go BIGGER for the same price with a DLP lcd for the price of a 50inch you get a 62-65 inch. Choose what you want by the Light in the room. buy a 1080P not i and a nice blueray player to get the best quality movie pic out.

Original Question

What is the best and cheapest Big Screen HDTV available?

Q. 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.

A. I do in fact have a recomendation and it's one shared by most experts in the audio/visual field. At this point in time the Hitachi f59 series is the absolute best bang for the buck available on the market, bar none. LCD? Plasma? DLP? Nope, it's got every set below $3000 covered hands down in every relevant category, be it picture quality, gaming performance or maintenance cost. The fact is that CRT is still the benchmark all others are judged by and at this point in time a High Def rear projection set such as the Hitachi offers the savvy buyer all the goodies without the hassles.

The F59 series is available in 51, 57 and 65 inch screen sizes, and as to price, well lets just say that on a good sale day you can pick up the 65 for between $1000-$1200 and the 57 for $999. Personally, I'd wait for the annual 'After the Super Bowl' sales as most retailers really offer some blowout pricing at this time, many close to those of 'Black Friday'. It was 'Black Friday' which put the 51 inch version on my doorstep at $699 shipped and I couldn't be happier with this set, heck I'd have paid full price and still considered it a steal. Yes, it really IS that good! But don't just take my word for it, take a look for youself at some of the factors which lead me to this purchase.

For instance lets look at the bulbs, or should I say lack of. ALL of the others technologies require an arc lamp bulb to provide the light source and it does a wonderful job...for about two years. 18-24 months is the average life expectancy of these bulbs under normal viewing conditions, then its time for replacement at a cost of $200. Average that out over the ten plus years you'll watch your typical CRT rear projection set like the Hitachi with ZERO bulbs and you'll see just what the latest 'High Tech' is really worth.

As you're a gamer this is the best choice once again due to a few things, the foremost being response time. CRT doesn't have to measure pixel response in milliseconds because there are none, thus instant and true image representaion is there 24/7/365. This is critical when playing first person shooters such as Halo on Xbox Live as the lag associated with the other technologies allows the slightest bit of lag. Sure, a 10ms lag doesn't seem like much but it is the difference in that hitting and missing those vital split second shots, the difference between tea bagging an downed opponent or cursing yourself blue over why your 'dead on' head shot failed to take out the bad guy. Of course the fact you require an HDMI port tells me you're of the PS3 persuasion but this set does indeed have and support HDMI so that's another base covered. Oh, and screen 'Burn In' isn't really an issue either anymore so than any other set, in fact less if proper caution such as not leaving ANYTHING paused for extended periods of time are taken.

Now as far as movie watching goes I certainly hope you have access to a lot of DVDs because viewing them on this set is more addictive than heroin or internet porn. My personal collection grows by the week now, even movies I've seen a million times gain new life on this set. And as for cable, well I have digital cable and see NO reason to upgrade to HD because the Standard def stations would remain the same and the combo of digital and this TV make you swear you were watching true High Def when tuned to any of the Discovery Network channels.

I'll not even go into the realm of picture quality, suffice to say 1080i with the true blacks and true color representation only CRT can deliver is still king of the hill despite every attempt to knock it off. So go ahead and pull the trigger on one of these bad boys, I promise, you'll not be dissapointed in any way, shape or form. Good luck and happy viewing
