i need to get a new tv, BUT
i hate artifacts and i hate lcd
mostly because of the artifacts
but also because I stare at one
8 hours a day

after searching the forums
it sounds like i should get into lcos
seems pretty expensive
is there an entry-level option
maybe a computer multimedia projector
that does pretty well?

i went into belmont tv
and looked at their plasmas
they didnt look too bad
im thinking i can live with that
didnt like the dlps or lcds

anything else i should be looking at?

want current technology
not good at fixing things
my flat crt is dying

My choice is LCoS, but Sony and JVC have quit making them, so my next choice is an LED DLP Samsung. Mainly because it is about all that's left, that fits my size requirement (60" - 70"), at a reasonable cost. I'd go with LCD, if I could get my size, at a decent price, but that's not gonna happen any time soon. Samsung has a 70" LCD, but the price is $40,000.

I can't stand the reflective screen of a plasma, so one will not be in my house, unless someone gives me one for free. I refuse to spend good money on one..........
Good luck!

Artifacts? WE aint talkin archeology here.
I love my LCD, and its artifact free, btw.
What is it about LCD that you dont like? Been listening to a bunch of snobby dumbtards and actually beleive them?
Your loss, anyway get a Olevia with the silicon optix chip, real nice and cheap too:1:

it looks like some of the olevia
rear projection teevees
are lcos
which isnt exactly the same as
lcd
its subtractive instead
so that might actually be a good suggestion

what i dont like about lcd?
harsh
usually artifacty
but that could be set up

i will try and see an olevia
thanks
