SilverSport Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 I am looking for a new telelvision for a second room...I would like widescreen but I don't have to have HD (or do I...) for movies and TV viewing...I had been looking at BB and others and found some talk elsewhere about the Sony KD30XS955 being the cats meow (for a tube TV) but it is deep and heavy (160 pounds or so) another nice set was the slim Samsung in 30" as well...lighter and thinner than the Sony but I dunno about Samsung quality...pisture looked great at BB but you know how that can be at the store...lastly there was a Sharp Aquos LS26GA5U...smaller picture but LCD and a nice picture as well...all right around the 1K mark...I am open to your thoughts and experiences...thanks for any help.

Jeff Matthews Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 I think Samsung is supposed to be good quality. My 65" DLP is Samsung. Stole it from Costco for $1700. It was their last one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wuzzzer Posted November 19, 2005 Share Posted November 19, 2005 If you go the tube route, get a Sony. If you go projection, get a Mitsubishi. Anything else (LCD, etc), go Samsung. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TommyC Posted November 19, 2005 Share Posted November 19, 2005 I'll sell you mine for $1000.00! [] I agree completely with the Anything else go Samsung statement. There are 3 Samsung LCD's in the homes of my immediate family and they are all Outstanding! I just wish I could afford one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Robinson Posted November 20, 2005 Share Posted November 20, 2005 If you're going to watch movies and cable -- you could go with a Panasonic 42" ED plasma. It will cost you about $1400 plus accessories that you desire, but it would have a killer picture. Visual Apex in Washington is a great on-line supplier. I bought mine through them. I think they're Panasonic's largest internet dealer in the USA. http://www.visualapex.com/plasma/plasma_details.asp?chPartNumber=TH-42PWD8UK&MFR=Panasonic Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
