[QUOTE]Originally posted by iceman302: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by essasin: [qb] 2k will get you one of the higher end screens. Honestly between the top brands Samsung, Pioneer, and Sony high end...they used the same panel. Last time I checked they where either manufactured by Sharp or Samsung. Here is what I think is the low down on tv sets which are decreasing in price and have not bottomed out yet. Buy a Plasma if you you can control the lighting in your room. Plasmas have a VERY glossy screen and you will get a huge glare in a room with uncontrolled lighting. The whole burn in issue is relatively solved with the new sets. As far as picture quality plasmas still to me produce a the best vivid colors. Plasmas are good with a computer feed but not as good as an LCD. Buy an LCD if you using it in a room with a lot of light. If you noticed airports, malls, etc all use LCD because it produces a better PQ in lighted areas. LCDs are the best for HTPC usage. Make sure you check for dead pixels on these monitors. PQ is awesome on these sets except for black levels, they are not as deep as plasmas. DLP is the best bang for the buck for cost per inch. If you want BIG and have the space, DLP is the way to go. The only real drawback is the size and black levels. Still produces an excellent 1080p feed. With 2k you can't go wrong and you will be happy with any set. Just make sure the set fits your needs and room. And most importantly DO NOT BUY MONSTER CABLES! They are the biggest shame in the world like Bose speakers. They spend all their money on marketing to brain wash people into thinking it's the best. Internally they cost a few dollars to make and are no better than the cheapo rat shack stuff. Shop at monoprice.com for all your brackets and cables. Quality stuff and the best prices you will find anywhere. All the home theatre buffs will attest to it. [/qb][/QUOTE]He's pretty much spot on. The DLP's can be bought cheaper but I've heard from a number of people that the manufacturers are phasing them out because people don't like changing the bulbs. I just bought a 52" Samsung 1080p LCD. I absolutely love it... especially the Blue Ray through my PS3. I didn't really think much of Blue Ray before I had it but there's a huge difference. One other thing you'll want to check into on LCD's (I'm not sure about plasmas and DLP's) is the refresh rate. A 60 Hz refresh will be cheaper but a 120 Hz is better and you won't get image drag when you're watching sports or anything with fast motion. [/QB][/QUOTE]
