I am looking to purchase a new HDTV either a LCD or a DLP. Here are the features, price range I am looking for and would like to have:
1. Less than $3k 2. Built in HD tuner 3. PIP 4. Computer compatible 5. DVI cable support and/or HDMI input 6. 50 inch or larger 7. 720p resolution or greater 8. 16.9 widescreen 9. Ability to run PS3 when it comes out (component video input instead of s-video)
If anyone has any other suggestions or models to stay away from let me know. I am leaning towards the Samsung HL-R5067 models when they come out in April. I am also one of those rare people who can't see the rainbow effect on DLPs. Thanks in advance!
All of the RPTV technologies have pluses and minuses. It is what is acceptable to you which is the best Tv. For the record, I have the Hitachi 50v710 and have no issues. that said, no matter what model you get, get the EW. Circuit City seems to be fairly good about service, but Best Buy has been shaky. Tweeter is also okay, and do take your own dvd's with you when you preview the tv's, even your video games if you play them. I notice the SXRD's are not on your list, but if you wait a little while I am sure they will drop into your price range so do not forget about them. Give the Hitachi's a chance, I like their color better than the Samsungs, but the DLP black is a little better. i do not like the form factor of the Samsungs either. As for the Sony's, their customer service is very shaky, so again, get the EW. Good luck!
