Maxman Posted February 21, 2005 Share Posted February 21, 2005 Well I know that Plasma is better. But is DLP worth the cost savings? Oh, who I am kidding. This thread was just a shameless plug for me. It was the only way I could think of to say that: I HAVE A PLASMA TV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Latinlawyer Posted February 24, 2005 Share Posted February 24, 2005 GOB...you aren't too far off man. You speak the truth. I barely have indoor plumbing but the TV rocks, LOL. I guess I will stand up for the DLP crowd. I bought a sweet DLP set from Samsung and let me tell you. The HDTV channels are beautiful. Its a sweet set and i will never ever have to worry about burn in. Plus if the bulb burns out, I just buy a new one...never need to recharge gases or any of that stuff. Its a sweet alternative to plasma or lcd. LL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damn You! max, I shopped for a Tv where I has the least worries. Burn in was a factor in me getting DLP. Its cheaper than plasma or LCD, true the tv housing is bigger and i can't hang it on a wall but I wont have to recharge gases or worry about burn in. I had a friend who bought a plasma like two years ago and has burn in from watching Bloomberg tv..he has the scroll bar burned in...ugh! Anyway, it has great resolution.

You can beat it if you bought online and had it shipped. But not everyone is comfortable with that. Also the savings might be offset by the interest free thing if you are paying it off over the year. http://www.streetprices.com/Electronics/Consumer/TV/Projection_46in/SP2174343.html You should check out this article as well before buying: http://www.extremetech.com/article2/0%2C3973%2C1153392%2C00.asp Reading all the reviews can get tiring. The best bet is to make sure you go to the store and check the TV out yourself. Just watch it. Trust your eyes...they will have the contrast set to 100 on everything most likely so pick the picture that you think is better. Oh and the Giants suck.

The HDTV feature is amazing...I can't wait till more channels broadcast in HDTV. I saw the Jets/SD playoff game in HDTV and the Jets/Pitt playoff game in HDTV.

I am as big a technophile as maxman...I would not have bought this TV if it wasn't a quality set... oh..another tidbit about this TV...it comes with a HDMI port, this is an advanced port that provides almost flawless HD reception between a tv and a box. The newer boxes (sat or cable) will have this connection... LL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Latinlawyer Posted April 11, 2005 Share Posted April 11, 2005 is there a difference between a DVI and HDMI? Supposedly HDMI gives a purer signal. the cable is worth 100 bucks. HDMI is the future...I hear that adapter is being included with the newer tv's. LL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBlue Posted April 14, 2005 Share Posted April 14, 2005 Thanks to all - I got the Samsung and an HDMI cable, although I got fff'd at Best Buy on the cable cost - $150... I found out I can get one on line for half that price. Taking it back for sure. As soon as I hook this tv up, I am never leaving my basement.
