Petrol Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 I find myself in "want" of a new tv to replace my trusty 8 yr old 27" trinitron that will be moved to replace my even trustier way old trinitron (24 yrs how will I part with this old friend?) Anyway, I am pretty limited in not only Screen size but also cabinet size (small house) for those reasons (and others already mentioned) I have already ruled out a CRT Rear Pro and have pretty much narrowed my field down to DLP or LCoS I'd like to do something around Christmas so I'll have to watch this thread close . . .

Speedball Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 I'll be glad if this thread never ends. We have been looking at the 37"-50"+ size screens too. Flat panel LCD is $$$ and Plasma seems cheaper. Panasonic plasma "seems" nice enough even though it has the high gloss plastic screen. The newer rear projection Sony 123LCD is less $$$ and we could get a bigger screen for the same $$$. Maybe we will just wait until changing technology settles down a bit and I hear some more about the above mentioned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will someone tell me why? .....Thanks ---------------- I agree with your question...The only knock against plasmas (ok two) are price and possible burn-in if watching 4:3 formatted TV. Other then that I think it has a better picture then DLP and LCD. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedball Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 Plasma for some reason looks really, really super clear. One downside seems to be the screen is high gloss plastic and will show a reflection of any nearby light. We watch widescreen and fullscreen movies so I hope burn in would not be an issue. LCD Flatscreen looks perfect and is very expensive compared to the others but my guess it has a downside too. Salesmen give me many different conflicting stories.

dantfmly Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 Personally i think crt rptv's are the most cost effective. but the dlp and lcd rptv have a better picture, and you are sure going to pay for it though. I bought the crt rptv. I am all for cost effective when on a budget. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mavicator Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 Plasma screens also have the problem of not being able to change native resolution. If you watch standard TV, they look like crap. In high def they look pretty nice, but not nice enough for me to give up my XBR 36". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
