Is 60inches too much or 50 OK? 195300[/snapback] I have a 50" Samsung DLP HDTV. Awesome picture. They're $2499.00 at Costco right now. No burn-in problems like plasmas and no burnt pixel problems like LCD's. Best of both worlds. As for screen size, you should measure from your normal tv-watching position to where the TV will be. Divide that in half, and that's the biggest screen size you should get, otherwise you're too close. I'm just about 100 inches away, so I bought the 50-inch. Are you still sitting there? Get in your vehicle, get down to Costco, and buy one! What are you waiting for?
udonkey Posted January 6, 2005 Posted January 6, 2005 I'm a little partial, but I'm a big fan of the Dell 42" HD Plasma. I work alongside this thing every day and the picture is absolutely incredible. Usually $3,499, but currently has a $500 rebate making it $2,999. One of the most competitively priced HD plasmas on the market.

Almost got DLP, but ended up with standard RP - Mitsubishi Silver Plus series. No complaints. BuffaloFan: did you check out the links in my thread in the Consumer Forum?
Rico Posted January 6, 2005 Posted January 6, 2005 I bought a 65" Mitsubishi Diamond HDTV about 2 years ago, it's awesome, but takes up a lot of space... Don't settle for anything less than 50".

Fezmid Posted January 6, 2005 Posted January 6, 2005 Please read the consumer forum: http://www.stadiumwall.com/index.php?showtopic=3894 Definately consider front projection if you can control the light in the room; you can have a beautiful 100+" screen then. Watching the Superbowl never looked so good (even the snow plow guy stopped in front of my house and was watching it through our window last year, until I went and looked out and saw him. He freaked out and drove off. ). EDIT: And again, I type too slow. CW
