What's the best bang for the buck TV?

[NateL]

Depends on what you are looking for and how much you are willing to spend. We got a Samsung 56in LCD DLP projection from Costco, and I love it- its HUGE! At Costco it looked tiny next to the 62in but when we got it home we found we had barely enough room for the 56. It was less than 2500 after taxes. Its not a thin screen, but its only about 12 in deep and came with a stand. LCD's and Plasmas are really nice to mount them on a wall. I prefer the LCD's over plasmas because I have heard that they last longer, hold their picture better, and there is less chance of burning in an image.

My brother just bought an aquios 42in for around 1500 in Bellingham. Open box at Best buy. It is a very very nice tv. If you are planning on watching high def, be sure to get the 1080p resolution as it is the highest available right now.

I say Toshiba or Sharp LCD. As with any brand , make sure you check the model # there is a noticible difference in picture quality. Be weary of contrast ratio stats between companies, compare them by eye as one TV tech told me.

If you have the room projectors are awesome and not nearly as expensive, they can be of course but they don't have to be.

I just purchased a brand new InFocus IN72 for under $800.00
You don't even NEED a screen right away if you have a light colored wall.

The screens can be made or purchased. Of course they are the same as anything, you can spend a ton of cake or get something just fine. I think my screen was $300.00 and it works great.

The nice thing about projectors is that they have huge pictures, they're compact, portable, and can be totally hidden. Also if you ever have the need you can project a huge picture. I plan to do this in the summer. I am going to host a UFC party in my back yard and project the fights onto the side of my shop.

As for the picture quality, it's great! I don't have HD yet but the unit is ready when I do. There are probably better pictures available for a LOT more money but I am not complaining one bit. It looks awesome!
To get a 72" HD picture for under $2000.00 you just can't go wrong.

You have to keep a couple things in mind though. The the bulbs have to be replaced every year or so ($200-$400), you will need a cable box in order to watch TV and a stereo system for sound.

Your welcome to come over and watch the next Canucks game on my plazma in High Def.
