In your opinion what is the best all around (gaming, and regular viewing) HD big screen? I plan on buying a PS3, and I think I have narrowed my choices to either LCD or Rear Projection. I like the bigger screens 50 to 60 inches. I also like Sony products, but don't have to buy Sony. Lay your thoughts on me tech guys. Thanks!

Re: Best big screen HD tv?
There are so many types and budgets. If you like big and have a budget, the 65" 1080p DLP Mitsubishi is amazing, and you can get one new for 1700. To get an lcd or plasma in that size you are looking at 4-5 grand or more."Basketball may have been born in Massachusetts, but it grew up in Indiana." - James Naismith -
Re: Best big screen HD tv?
LCoS or DLP IMO.
Of course every manufacturer is different as well. A Mitsubishi DLP isn't going to be the same as a Samsung which isn't going to be the same as a Toshiba etc...Comment

Re: Best big screen HD tv?
Your budget would be helpful. I have a 51" Hitachi RP CRT for like less then $800. Only concern is burn-in if it's dedicated to a gaming system. I assume 10" more inches is a little more cost.Comment

Re: Best big screen HD tv?
Best bang for your buck is still going to be rear projection, DLP or LCoS. I just purchased a Sony KDS-60A3000. Sony calls their LCOS "SXRD". This tv is really amazing quality for the money. It does 1080p, has the 120hz refresh rate, and will play Blu-rays at 1080p/24, which is real nice.
Mitsubishi's Diamond series DLP's are also excellent, and Samsung's new LED engine DLP sets are nice, too, but I am not terribly fond of the build quality. The plastic housing seems incredibly flimsy for something that costs 2 grand plus. I have also read about quite a few people having issues with their sets, too.Comment

Re: Best big screen HD tv?
If you can afford an SXRD that'd be great. First TV to be very close in picture quality as a CRT.Comment

Re: Best big screen HD tv?
$2500 is my cap. I just can't bring myself to spend more than that on a TV. I plan on doing surround sound too."What I would like for every football team to do that we play is to sit there and say, I hate playing against these guys." -Nick SabanComment

Re: Best big screen HD tv?
A2020 is last year's model, basically, if I recall correctly. The A3000 does 120hz and the 2020 does not. Other than that, they are very similar in quality, I believe. The A3000's HDMI inputs are also version 1.3 (it doesn't really matter that much, but to some it will).
I would go for the 3000 just because it is newer, but if you can get a great deal on the 2020, it would definitely be worth considering.
List price on the A3000 60 incher is $2,699.99, but Best Buy and Circuit City have both been discounting it quite a bit the last two weeks. CC I believe had and still may have it at $2299.99, and Best Buy had it for $2429.99 last week. I ended up getting it at Best Buy because I had a 12% off Reward Zone coupon which made it less than Circuit City. I was able to get the tv and a 4 year warranty for basically the listed retail price.Comment

CC won't deliver to my house? I need someone to bring it in!"What I would like for every football team to do that we play is to sit there and say, I hate playing against these guys." -Nick SabanComment

Re: Best big screen HD tv?
Uh, why won't they deliver? They offer free shipping a lot of the time. Do you live in BFE or what?Comment

Re: Best big screen HD tv?
That is weak. Maybe if you go in person and buy it at the store they can deliver it. I don't see why they wouldn't. If you are doing the A3000, I would still try Circuit City. They had it priced 130 bucks less than BB last time I looked.Comment
