LCD is nice because it's VERY bright, and very sharp. No burn in, and less lag than DLP. (reports that it messes people up on DDR).

I have a samsung 61" DLP 1080p, and it's wonderful. Good darks, good lights.

If I was you, I'd find a 1080p tv because you'll wish you did later on. Sonys are really great but overpriced.

Which is why I recommend the Sharp Aquos...spec for spec, it matches Sony's Bravia series (which are definatley awesome prodcuts) but is about 33% cheaper

Yeah, I just got a Sharp Aquos for work. It's not a bad TV.

Plasmas are quite a bit more reliable than they used to be. They also tend to have a better contrast ratio and can display more colors. I haven't read anything yet about a buzzing problem, and they have features now to help prevent burnout. I checked out the Aquas but they're pretty expensive.... Also I don't think I'll be able to tell the difference with 1080p. I'm just going to have to go this weekend and look at all of them for myself. Maybe I will find an LCD I like.

That one's only 1200 on amazon and like 1500 at Best Buy.

What about the Bravia series? The Sony displays have always been a fave of mine.

This site looks like it's for general consumers, but read it anyways.

I'm gonna wait longer to buy one, plus i can't afford one atm :P I did see motorstorm running off a bravia and I want a bravia!!!!

I just read this. It matches the specs but it doesn't say "Bravia"......mmm

Ok yeh you make a point. Same specs, much cheaper. Maybe that'll be my next tv. Have u seen em side by side tho?

What about this issue involving gaming lag with some HDTV's? Apparently if the signal of the console doesn't match the native resolution of the TV then the images can lag.

Crash · 06-03-2007, 01:08 PM

i dont' know about that issue. i was told once by a sales rep that "game mode" on samsung, corrects this issue. I don't EVER trust those sales people though.

I've seen them both in the same area...not literally side by side, but i saw one and then i saw the other. Honestly, couldn't notice a difference. Both have a gorgeous (gorgeous) picture, especially at 1080p. (and Neo, you can tell a difference...watch a Blu Ray movie at 1080p, then watch a DVD at 1080i and try to tell me you didnt notice a difference).
