Tell me what you think of this TV

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.

Re: Tell me what you think of this TV
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.
Re: Tell me what you think of this TV
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?

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?
Re: Tell me what you think of this TV
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.

That contrast ratio is horrid.

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.R00k wrote:They aren't that much cheaper right now, TBH.

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

Re: Tell me what you think of this TV
I'm happy with my Sony Bravia, though I didn't have to pay for it.

Re: Tell me what you think of this TV
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.

Re: Tell me what you think of this TV
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.

Re: Tell me what you think of this TV
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.

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