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.

Original Question

Is 120 Hz good or will 60 hz do it for a 55 inch lcd hdtv?

Q.

A. The benefit with 120hz is it's ability to create smooth motion. LCD panels struggle with the different frame rates of different content as such 120hz TVs were created to over come this problem. 120 is an even multiple of 24, 30, and 60 (the three most common consumer frame rates), so you can display all the HD formats with no pulldown, and therefore no judder. 60 isn't evenly divisible by 24 thus 3:2 pulldown. That being said some TVs do better 3:2 pulldown than others.

I'm terrible at explaining pulldown, so if you are not familiar, I suggest taking a glance at this website.

It has a very easy to understand explanation, as well as pictures if your a visually oriented person.

What is the best 32 Inch LCD HDTV?

Q.

A. Panasonic VIERA C12 Series TC-L32C12 32-Inch 720p LCD HDTV is one of the best TVs under $500 you can find on the market. I did a LOT of research looking for what I wanted in a TV. I've been wanting a nice flatscreen for a while now. I've been holding out as and quality has been improving while prices have been dropping. I finally settled on this Panasonic.

I wanted a TV for primarily movies (Hi Def and standard or upconverted Def) and video games (Hi Def and standard def). I do not have a cable subscription and am not interested in HD cable services. That being said, I also wanted a TV that would double as a humongous PC monitor. I'm pleased to say this TV meets and exceeds my needs so far. It's a big upgrade from the 20 inch tube TV I was using before the VIERA.

The LCD TV is nice looking and has a variety of cable inputs. Both the remote and menu systems are top-notch and useful. This TV puts out true 720p resolution and has 4:3 ratio (standard, full-frame) and zoom scaling as well. For TVs 32 inches and under, 1080p (while nice) is not necessary, as you'd be hard pressed to notice a dramatic difference with your HDMI or component sources. The picture is super sharp, and the image control available with this TV is pretty impressive. You can really play with the picture and color. I was laughing at the ability to essentially reproduce that 60's Technicolor supersaturation if you want. It really brings films to life. You can make up to 4 preset color choices, too- One for films, one for sports or live action TV, one for video games, one for kid's cartoons, etc, etc.
I would highly recommend this TV.

Putting a home entertainment system in my basement - what should I use for a TV?

Q. I was planning on buying a 50 inch LCD, but have been hearing that the projectors are catching on. I would imagine it would be a larger image, but don't think it lasts as long. What are the advantages/disadvantages?

A. Personally I'd go with a projector if you have the room for a large screen and flanking speakers ... it will give the most immersive, cinema-like experience (particularly for more than 2 people)

The disadvantage -- as you already noted -- is that lamps typically last 3000 hrs (3-4 years at 2-3 hrs/day) and cost ~$350 to replace. In addition, most projectors need to have air filters checked and cleaned every few months (a 5 minute job).

My wife and I have a HT setup (HD satellite and HD DVD and DVD program sources) with a 110" screen (home made for <$100), 7.1 sound system, and a back-wall mounted projector ... and we wouldn't go back to a small (e.g. 40-60") screen willingly. We like to invite neighbours and friends to come for "dinner and a movie" ... and the home theatre setup enhances the experience immensely. We wouldn't do it if we had an LCD or plasma TV. That said, we have a 32" HDTV in a smaller room that we use for routine TV watching.

But to answer your question re pros and cons ...

Let's set the scene first. Assume a 50" LCD vs a 100" projection setup. Ideal viewing location will be about 7-8' from the LCD and 13-15' from the projection screen. The image will be, perceptually, equivalent (since it subtends the same visual angle). But, most people will sit further from a 50 LCD than ideal (simply to allow more than 2 p[eople to get into the "sweet spot" in front of the screen, rather than off at an angle), so in reality the picture seems bigger for the projector watcher. See viewing distance calulator (2nd link).

Prices for an HT projector: from <$1000 for 720p models and from $3000 for 1080p models (2 years ago this would have been $10K+). See Projector Central's "highly Rated" list (1st link).

A projection setup has more parts than an LCD -- projector and separate screen. Screens can cost more than $3000, but a reasonable screen can be purchased for $500 - $700, or you can make one from Blackout Cloth on a wood frame or paint your own on drywall for <$100. See AVS DIY Screen forum.

Projectors work best in dark rooms (think movie theatre), so light control is important. As with LCD panels competition from room lights or windows washes out the picture, but probably more on a projector screen than a smaller flat panel. This is not to say you can't watch a projector with the lights on, but unless you have a 2000+ lumen projector the picture will be significantly washed out.

Contrast ratio used to be inferior on projectors relative to flatpanel displays, but in the last year CR's of > 10,000 are increasingly common (but note this is compromised in anything but a dark room).

Multiple digital or component connections to projectors tend to be less common than on flatpanel displays (although a suite of composite, s-video, component and DVI or HDMI and VGA are normal), meaning you will probably do switching through an A/V receiver.

A projector throws the image from across the room (unless you have the capacity, and want to use the space to rear project from behind the screen), so sight lines must be kept clear. However, projectors are designed to be ceiling or shelf mounted so this does not have to limit seating. LCDs are easier to position and hide. On the other hand A/V equipment for a projection HT can be unobtrusively mounted at the back of the room and controlled by bouncing the remote signal off the screen.

Projectors turn out heat and have cooling fans that can be noticeable to a viewer sitting beside or under the projector, although recent HT designs have fans that are so quiet you would have to sit within a few feet to even notice them. LCDs are quieter.

So ... there are significant differences. Some can be considered advantages or disadvantages, but I'd suggest they are simply factors to consider. There are work arounds for most of the "disadvantages".

The bottom line to me -- since cost considerations are not major issues in my view -- is do you have the space and wish to view movies or HDTV in a close approximation of the movie theatre experience for 2-6+ people (minus the sticky floors, noisy strangers, and having to travel to the theatre and back), or do you prefer a big picture in a smaller, cosier setting for one or two viewers (or a small screen in a big room for more people) -- i.e. the LCD flatscreen.

I'd suggest you find a projector demo at a local high end A/V retailer and see what both types of diplays are like "live" before making a decision. Also read up on the subject at the links provided.

If they are older you'll want to take about 50 to 60 % off the games especially ----and 40% off the tv. If microsoft drops the price of the elite them take the 25 to 30% off the currnet in store list price..

Hope this helps.. Also find out shipping cost and list that as a seperate cost to the buyer.

At the 46-50 inch range, why would anyone pick a LCD HDTV over plasma?

Q. The plasma is cheaper (from a quick Amazon search) and from what I've read the plasma has a better picture quality. I can understand at 60 inch range; the LCD's seem cheaper.

A. At 60 inches the LCD's are cheaper? I don't think so...

I personally would take a plasma over an LCD for just about anything 42 inches and up.

Where can i find a cheap VESA mount for a HDTV?

Q. i have a 22 inch lcd tv and a 40 inch ledtv
theyre both fairly slim and lightweight
i want 2 vesa mounts but i dont have the money to pay 100$ for each
where can i find good quality and affordable mounts... around 10-50$?

A. Check around. Look on Amazon and eBay.

You might get a simple wall mount for the 22" for less than that. I got one from a local retailer for $20 or so that probably would work. You can likely get the same online for less.

For the 42", you need to spend $60 to $80.

How much FPS will a vizio 26 inch hdtv lcd monitor do up to until it discards the rest?

Q. (like average 17" will display 60fps and discard the rest... well what about a vizio 26 inch hdtv lcd monitor?)

A. depends on the max resolution...a 26" is likely 720p? In the 720p the "p" refers to a max framerate of 60fps if it is some how 1080i this is 30fps...typically these all support 60 fps in 1280x720 resolution...if it is in fact 1080p this it will support 60 fps in 1920x1080 resolution

Original Question

How much FPS will a vizio 26 inch hdtv lcd monitor do up to until it discards the rest?

Q. (like average 17" will display 60fps and discard the rest... well what about a vizio 26 inch hdtv lcd monitor?)

A. depends on the max resolution...a 26" is likely 720p? In the 720p the "p" refers to a max framerate of 60fps if it is some how 1080i this is 30fps...typically these all support 60 fps in 1280x720 resolution...if it is in fact 1080p this it will support 60 fps in 1920x1080 resolution

How much improvement will i see getting 720p tv vs my old huge fat big screen?

Q. I'll be trying to purchase my first flat screen in the upcoming weeks. I can only afford one thats 720p and not the 1080 pixel. I'm trying to guesstimate how much of an improvement it will be, as i will mostly use for watching blue rays and playing my ps3. I'll be getting an HDMI cable as well. The big old big screen i have is Hitatchi, and is 60 inches

A. I bought a 720p plasma as my first hdtv and now have 2 ps3s , ones attached to that tv and another to a 1080p lcd . I honestly like the plasma picture better , less pixelization on the older ps1 games , brighter colors and better response time means no lag between button press and action ( I sometimes get that on the lcd )
plus most games are actually only 720p anyway .
get the 720p and enjoy it whatever type it is
btw ' a plasma has a screen life of 100,000 hours ( 37 years ) so whoever says they burn out fast is wrong - the very first ones did but the technology is nearly perfected now

Plasma vs LED, which is better for watching HDTV especially sports?

Q. I will be looking to get a 50-60 inch HDTV sometime next year and was wondering which technology is better for watching sports in HD, and HDTV in general? Plasma seems a lot cheaper and from what I've read has better picture quality but I heard again LED might be better for sports/hdtv. Which is the way to go?

A. Plasma...due to it's very wide viewing angles, and fast response time, giving you no blur on fast action.. (no refresh rates needed..) Long life, just like LCD/LED..

Didn't say I was selling it here, I've posted an ad on craigslist...

https://post.craigslist.org/manage/426160308/snu8n

I just would like to see any suggestions on pricing from honest ppl and not low ballers or scammers.
Tv was bought in Feb.07

Xbox 360 Elite was bought June.07

Pc was built and purchased April.07

In the ad I posted pick up only in Bronx NY at my apt as I am not shipping.
Any 1 interested email Junemas@aol.com

A. Sell them seperately you'll get more... Basically you'll want to Take 25 to 30 % off the original purchase if the things are less than a year old.. If they are older you'll want to take about 50 to 60 % off the games especially ----and 40% off the tv. If microsoft drops the price of the elite them take the 25 to 30% off the currnet in store list price..

Hope this helps.. Also find out shipping cost and list that as a seperate cost to the buyer.

Original Question

At the 46-50 inch range, why would anyone pick a LCD HDTV over plasma?

Q. The plasma is cheaper (from a quick Amazon search) and from what I've read the plasma has a better picture quality. I can understand at 60 inch range; the LCD's seem cheaper.

A. At 60 inches the LCD's are cheaper? I don't think so...

I personally would take a plasma over an LCD for just about anything 42 inches and up.
