TV recommendaton LCD 60"

All I can say is, don't get an LCD at that large size; get the latest
generation DLP or LCOS. Because LCD has problems with fast moving images.
Image quality is just not like the latest DLP say from Mitsubishi.
But...don't take my word for it, check it out very carefully.

just my 2 cents (US). My 56" sony crt rear projection was $1500. I love it!
Deep blacks, high resolution, etc. It seems to me you can't beat the bang
for the buck staying with crt technology.

If we're talking $3500 for 60 plus inches then automatically it has to be
projection, not direct-view.

I'm certainly no electronic engineer but the more I read about this
technology the more I agree with you. I think the future lies with LCD and
LCoS, with the latter having the long-term edge because of the lower
percentage of wasted surface area on the chip.

One of the biggest future problems with DLP is that apparently it is
difficult, if not impossible, to miniaturize the components much further,
whereas the solid-surface technologies have just started this process. That
means that picture quality improvements will leave DLP in the dust.

As you say, my opinion only :< )

Mack, stick with a HDTV that has CRT tubes. If you go with LCD, Plasma
or DLP you are headed for headaches. My brother works for Tweeter, and
is very up to date on these products.

The tubes on a plasma screen have a life span of about 60,000 hrs which
has grown since their first induction to the public. As for DLP and LCD
some of these television come with high speed fans. There is a certain
DLP on the market that has 2 high speed fans, that you can hear
distinctly when the TV is on, and the life of the high speed bearings
on these fans are about 1 to 2 years, and if you didn't purchase the
extended warranty you'll be paying for it out of pocket.
