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?

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.

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?

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

Just a few more days....

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.
