Compliance is mandatory. I'm leaning towards an LCD set, but this DLP seems a good deal. Thoughts?

Samsung makes some dlp's with LED lights which are wayyyy better than the single bulb. I would try and find one of those, the picture is perfect.

Contrast Ratio is pretty low. You might want to see if there is a web site that lists it response time.

How does it look in the store?

[Nightshade]

If it's the one I saw a couple days ago, it looks pretty damn good. Just trying to figure out how to spend my bonus.

[R00k]

Damn. 50 inches for $900?

It's only marked down from $1000 -- are good DLPs really that cheap compared to LCDs?

Is an LCDs picture that much better?

[SoM]

get it and see how you like it... you can always return it.

Newegg has a Samsung 46" LCD for $1100.

I'm kicking myself for buying a big flatscreen back in August. How was I supposed to know the economy was gonna go to shit and prices would plummet?

[R00k]

They aren't that much cheaper right now, TBH.

That $1100 46-incher at newegg must be some kind of fluke, or damaged or something. Or maybe it uses one of the 'bad' A panels.

But I haven't found any others close to that price that are comparable.

If I could find one in a store for that, I'd be buying it today.

[Transient]

That contrast ratio is horrid.

Law of nature, very soon after you buy something it goes on sale.

Get a Sony Bravia W series. They're rocking this year and winning awards all over the place.

I got myself a Sony KDL 40W4000 (40 inch) for 900 bucks.

Picked up a similar model(46" 530 series Samsung) at best buy last night. CoD:WaW looks fucking incredible on it.

my brother-inlaw got his parents a 46" bravia for $1100 this xmas.

LOL @ Sony Bravia TVs. Average in every department.

Samsung are the current kings of TVs. I would also say that LG do some good screens as well but the Samsung LE46A558 is a nice TV for the money. Look for it...get it...enjoy it

I'm happy with my Sony Bravia, though I didn't have to pay for it.

[Doombrain]

If you buy DLP, you are a fucking moron.

Latest Sony’s (over priced, best style), s9 Samsung (best image, poor sound) or Pioneer LCD’s (best overall) are the best as it stands.

[Jackal]

Agreed with Doombrain. You're not getting a deal because you'd be buying a DLP set.

You want a Samsung. Best bang for your buck. The sound issue DB mentions wouldn't even matter because, hopefully, you'd be running surround sound through a receiver any way.

[Don Carlos]

Just a few more days....

[Pauly]

Not too keen on Samsung. Picture quality has been less than perfect on all I have seen so far.

The best HD TV I have seen? The Panasonic Viera Plasma. Amazing picture.

[Doombrain]

I'm shaking my head in real life. you don't just turn them on, lots of settings have to be adjusted.
