T.V.s... what do you like and why?

If you want an LCD, the Sony Bravia is tops.

If you want the best all around TV (up to 58" at a reasonable price) for day and night watching with the most natural picture quality and color for TV broadcasts and movies, the Panasonic 1080p plasma is a no-brainer. Pioneer is great but too many bucks.

Don't judge by what you see in a brightly lit store. The super bright LCD's look impressive but that is way too bright for your home room. The new plasmas have plenty of brightness and a very natural cinema mode.

LCD is the way to go for most people, get one with a LED backlight of you can afford it.
DLP is the only contender for front projectors, and rear projectors as well.
REAR projectors are on life support, all are DLP now.
But if you are willing to put up with the hassle and compromises a rear projection DLP is the way to get a large picture at a good price.
I saw a Mitshubishi 65" on a shopping network for around 1600 bucks tonight,
in price per square inches you arent gonna beat that.
But overall LCD is the most conveinent, reliable, inexpensive, and IMHO,
the best picture, excepting maybe DLP.
And the market has spoken, there are only about two plasma makers left,
and dlp rear projection is on life support.

I'm with GMichael. I've been looking at projectors. I just love the idea of a picture that is as wide as the space between my front speakers. I will be using a pull down screen to give me that 8Ft diagonal picture. I certainly can't afford a plasma that size.

Thanks for the heads up pixelthis. A DLP front projector is what I've been thinking of anyway. You got any screen suggestions?
