OK I am having a dillema here I and really would like some advice on what to to. I own a 53" pioneer model number SD532hd5 that I purchased for $3,500. On March 3rd it will be 4 years that I have owned it and I have enjoyed every minute of it. I really love this tv but in the past year we have had to get a couple of parts replaced on it. Now I purchased this tv at Best Buy and also purchased the replacemt plan on it and since we have had best buy come out here 3 times to look at it and replace parts I am now eligable to return the tv and get a brand new tv. Now the parts that they replaced seem to have stopped the tv from turning off on its own and it still looks like it did the day I bought it. So my dillema is do I exchange the tv for a newer tv with newer technology or does this tv still out perform the new tvs. If we replace this tv we would also have to replace are HD set top box because we have a RCA DTC-100 and we use a RGB computer cable to send the signal from it to the tv.
Now we only would have I think $3,500 to work with at best buy and the only tvs there now that I THINK would be of equal quality would be The Sony Grand WEGA 60" HD-Ready Rear-Projection LCD TV with DVI Input & 2-Tuner PIP - Silver Model: KF60WE610 OR The Sony Grand WEGA 60" Widescreen Rear-Projection LCD HDTV with HDMI Input & Memory Stick Slot Model: KDF60XS955.
So the BIG Question is, since I have the option to get a new tv even though I love this tv, should I take it? And if so then what tv from best buy would be of equal or greater quality then my Pioneer. I have always loved pioneer and have regarded to them as the best in my books but if anybody with some real knowledge could give me some good advice as to what to do we would really appreciate it.
why not look into a new pioneer? Best buy is kinda expensive IMO. memory stick slot is useless unless you ahve a sony camera. if your looking for projection I heard the Mitsu was real nice compared to the sony. Not sure where pioneer is in comparison but I know they are good overall.
Oh I would love to get a new Pioneer from them but they dont carry pioneer anymore except for a couple Plasmas and I cant afford that nor do I really want one of those!! Anyone know of any good crt rptvs that perform equal to or better than the pioneer sd532hd5. I have been told that the rptvs PQ is still better then any Lcd,Dlp, or Lcos so what opinions do you guys have!
