Ghostkid Posted February 2, 2005 Share Posted February 2, 2005 First a little history, I've just dedided to upgrade this next year. New house so I need new equipment Back when surround sound was first coming out and popular and affordable, I jumped on the band wagon and got Dolby analog receiver, HIFI Vcr, and 32 in TV. It was great in the day. I had that for about ten years and I recently got a 6.1 receiver and 27 TV w/components. Now I'm going to upgrade the Speakers to Klipsch. But the 27 inch tv is a temp and will go to my wife's viewing area downstairs. I have a 16x15 loft. I will either have the seats at and angle in the room or parallel to a wall. I'm wondering what I should use a video source. Looking around 50 inches for LCD or DLP Rear projection or a Front projector Room has one small window. Tried an old projector and it worked fine, Need to know experience with watching tv, movies, video games (that's my priority ). Have Satelite.

DrWho Posted February 2, 2005 Share Posted February 2, 2005 Front projection will probably give you the best bang for the buck...I'm sure others more current in the market will chime in with particular models and all that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shade Posted February 2, 2005 Share Posted February 2, 2005 Not sure what you're looking to spend, but the Samsung DLPs are (in my opinion) among the best for picture quality. I have a 5683W (the one with the pedestal built in) and love it. DVDs & PC games look great. I'm using a DVI connection from the PC. Not sure what gaming system(s) you use, but I have heard the is some button lag on the PS2. Supposedly it's noticed most on golf games and such where timing on the swing meter is critical. Can't vouch for TV, I actually don't watch any (cable or otherwise). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostkid Posted February 2, 2005 Author Share Posted February 2, 2005 I do like the Samsungs DLPs, I play on the Xbox, but have old game systems too, for vintage reasons. I've heard that either the LCD or DLP is better for TV watcing. Also what's the bulb replacement cost for the Pedestal. I love the way it looks, but my wife would be upset if I ditched my tv stand. It's perfect for a new DLP OR LCD rear proj. or even a projector set up I can place the center channel and other items on it then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
