    We apologize for the inconvenience.

Im picking up this HDTV today, what do you guys think?

*sighs* DLP has become more widespread in the last 5-6 years. Before that, they existed but weren't sold to the capacity as they are today. That is the point I am trying to make. If you went into an electronics store 6 years ago you'd see mostly CRT based televisions. Now a days everything is DLP, LCD or Plasma. Maybe you get my point now?

Either way, Fixed Pixel Displays still need some more time to improve. For example, black levels on a fixed pixel display (DLP, LCD, basically any non-CRT based television) still cannot reach the levels of a CRT TV. They are getting close, but not quite there yet. Any well calibrated CRT Projection television will out do a fixed pixel display...but the lines are getting closer, but as I said earlier, they are not quite there yet.

Now, do you think that is understandable?

You must have missed the part where I said I own one. I don't recommend something unless I own it myself and am happy with it.

No, I saw that, but I put very little stock into other people's opinions when it comes to electronics because most people are "brand associated" as I am when it comes to Microsoft (Xbox) vs. Sony (Playstation).

Besides, how do I know you don't work for the company who manufactures the televisions who just happened to see this thread? lol.

LOL! For the record Im only going to buy the tv at Best buy. Why you say? Because its the only place Where I have a credit card:o 5000 my limit!!!:cool: Well im to study for an hour or two before I buy my tv! :up:
 
Best Buy isn't bad, gotta love that reward zone club they got going...when I bought my computer I got 60 bucks in gift cards.
 
Over a two month period my wife and I maxed out the $400 credit card Best Buy gave us. We bought our special edition DVDs for our collection, so it was worth it. Got that special edition V for Vendetta with the little mask, lol.

Just came back from Best buy and that Samsung tv I wanted just ****ing sux!!! It was just a normal tv, nothing special about it. I think im going to get one of the Flat Panel tv's instead. Its a little more but I think its worth it.
 
DLP Is better than all the other techs.. No burn-in like plasma, No screen door effect like LCD and you can watch from all angles and with any lighting unlike CRT.

What about the LCD/HD tv's? Will it still have the "no screen door" effect?

Samsung is the only company that makes DLP right? I've seen the Samsung DLP and it looks pretty sweet. The cheaptest one I've found at Best buy is the Samsung 42" DLP HDTV for 1423.00 Its a litte bit pass my price range. And let me remind you guys all ill be getting the mother of all ****ing television on Christmas!!! I just want something to hold me down until Christmas.

Let me give you some real advise.Dont get it,why?HDTV`s are somewhat new,so if you do buy it,there are not alot of channels that actually use HD.So in a sence,you will not be using it much.This also applies to plasma screen tv`s and blue ray DVD`s.

Wait a few years,until HD becomes more mainstream.

I dont have digital cable or Satilite for that matter. I just want a HD tv for my 360 and dvd's.
 
I think I just found the TV that Im going to get!!! Panasonic 32" Flat-Panel LCD HDTV only at 1233.
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage...CategoryId=pcmcat95100050016&id=1138085816138

Why you say, I just checked the reviews for each Flat Panel Tv within my price range and size and this tv is the highest rated!!!

Based on 38 ratings of Circuity City
Picture quality 4.8
Sound quality 4.5
Features 4.2
Cost-Benefit 4.7
Overall 4.6
Im going to see this tv myself tommmrow if I like what I see than im going to pick it up

These two reviews about the tv and there 360 convinced me!!!

After purchasing an Xbox 360, I was left with only one problem. I didn't own an HDTV and without one I couldn't get the real benefit out of my 360. After shopping around for a couple of weeks I was hoping to find a Sharp Aquos or a Sony (32' or more) forunder $1700. Then, I saw this model and was surprised to see that it was almost perfecly equipped for the Xbox 360. After looking into it I was no longer convinced to buy a Sharp or Sony, but found myself buying it for $1599! After setting it up I then realized that it was almost suspiciously designed for the 360 itself! The Built-in High-Definition tuner displays signals ranging from 480i all the way to 1080i (with 720p being it's prime display). And because it has a built-in HD tuner, you dont need to buy any receivers whatsoever. It has one HDMI port but only one Component. The screen itself rotates 20 degrees from side to side giving a single player or spectator enhanced veiwng from anywhere in the room. It has Dolby Digital Stereo sound and works beautifully with Surround Sound systems. Although the cost is pretty pricy, it is absolutely worth every penny. I know I keep stressing it but the picture quality on this HDTV is crystal clear and is substantially sharp. If you can, try to find it on sale atsome point in time and if you own an Xbox 360 and want the best bang for your buck--then I strongly suggest buying one of these over the rest of its competition.

This HDTV is the best bang for the buck. Cosmetically, the black frame within the silver
finish adds a nice touch to the slightly varying sizes of 16:9 letterbox dimensions. When
a movie or HDTV program is viewed this black inner frame blends right into the movie or program. Other LCD’s 16:9 format shows as if it does not belong because of the varying hues of the TV’s inner border. On the 32LX60 the images appear very natural—not like a letterbox format that was added to the TV’s original LCD display. The image is almost identical to the Sony Bravia series and the new Samsungs, however not as dark.
This adds to a most natural picture. The Panasonic has the most natural colors of any 32” LCD available at least $200 less… and it has a built in HDTVtuner. Most of the lower priced LCD’s do not they are HDTV “ready.”
The TC-32LX60 has a contrast ratio of 3000:1. This means, perhaps the sharpest LCD available at any price. There are no greater contrast ratios. It has all the inputs and outputs you will ever need in convenient locations.
The sound is as good as it gets—20 watts, with many sound options. The controls and inputs are conveniently located, unlike the Toshiba 32HL95 which also has a nice picture, but the design of the chases cannot evencome close to the Panasonic. Forget LG, Sharp. Niko and JVC. Look for the cheapest price through pricegrabber… and you will be astonished at how inexpensive this TV is. This is the finest 32” LCD TV available today.

Pros: Everything is equal to or better than all 32” LCD’s available [with a $200-$700 savings] at the writing of this review (5/17/06).

Cons: TV is approximately ½” thicker than some other LCD’s [who cares].
