Projectors suck. We have a plasma, I think. It's a panasonic, 65", the biggest you can buy. With a blu ray pixar movie, the quality is just astonishing.

I need to buy a flat screen television. I'm thinking of getting an LCD instead of a Plasma, but I was wondering if anyone has bought a TV projector and what they think of it? What speakers would I need with that too? Also, I checked the prices out at Worst Buy, but was wondering if anyone has any other recommendations? Thanks!
NewEgg.com and plasma. I hate LCD's.

Seriously? Wasn't it you who just asked this very same question last week or two weeks ago here? :) Chris might as well remove the search feature, apparently no one is using it. ;)

I'm sure it was a bit longer than that. Chris needs to get rid of the search engine and implement a member query instead. You guys have long term memory and load faster. In my defense, I did say I already decided on LCD and just wanted to know if getting a projector is better. I don't think I've asked about projectors before. :)

What you REALLY want to do is buy a very nice monitor for your PC, 26+ inches with 1920x1280, and a TV eating PC video card. Than you can use it for both. My wife's TV is also her monitor, 22", 1920x1080. She usually does not watch TV and use the computer at the same time, but with image scaling, she can if she wants to. Convergence.

The best benefit I got from TV (and most people from my generation) was learning English by watching tons of Cartoon Network. Till a few years ago, most channels on cable were not doubled or translated, so we learned just by watching an listening. There was also a great hunger for cartoons after '89, as before the communism crumbled we only got like 15 minutes of cartoons per week, on Saturdays.

If you are going to put it in a bright room, LCD is the way to go. They are generally brighter and have less glare from ambient light. Projectors are less expensive up front for the same size, but when you factor in a screen and the cost/lifespan of replacement bulbs not so much. Whatever you buy, make sure you see it in operation because there is a vast difference between different manufacturers even with the same specs. And I found that what was the best in all the reviews I read made me motion sick and did not look that great to me personally.

Agreed, We too have a Panasonic Plasma in the smaller 42" and it knocks the socks off of all the LCD screens I've seen. It bugs me that so many people have a downer on plasma, they are just as sturdy as any other screen display technology, but the picture quality is far superior :) :-D

I have a projector...a relatively cheap one, at that. I got it 2 years ago for $350 and have been loving it. I can watch a movie in a room that has full sunlight shining into the windows and I can still see everything with no problem. Plus, I can take it to friends' houses and have outdoor movie events and the like with ease. As for the projection screen, you can get a good 100" screen for less than $100. So, that's not even a big deal. Mind you, I'm no videophile. I just enjoy watching a movie every now and then. I did have to get some speakers, but that wasn't a big deal either. All total (projector, screen, and speakers), I spent less than $1000. I have been recommending this setup to all my friends and they have had the same response as me. Good all around.

Bassam, in a previous life, I put computer display systems in airports. DO NOT GO WITH PLASMA :mad: Ok, I'll stop yelling :-O , but really LCD is a much better system over the long haul and will give you far less problems than the plasma. Also, I bought a high end projection system a few years back for full motion video and I was very, very pleased with it. It had very good picture quality when the room was lighted and it was amazing (not HD, but still very good) with the lights out. Hope it helps. -Bubba Man

I bought a LCD flat-screen around Christmastime this year. I am pleased with the picture, but sound was a big issue. I had replace a rear projection TV that was dying, that had excellent sound. I ended up also purchasing an additional sound system to obtain decent sound. As far as I can tell most flat-screen speakers leave a lot to be desired.

You can't stuff a good speaker into a 2" thick package for some odd reason. :doh:

Given the dialect of English used on Powerpuff Girls and other cheap Asian animated stuff that is on that channel, that explains a lot of Engrish Errors I've been seeing in Eastern European & Russian manuals.
