Default TV questions-Home TV's

My pops has a old school projector style TV and its getting old and acts up once and a while. I have been looking at the DLP 60-73", but my question is does any one have one and if so any down falls to the TV? the TV gets some sunlight reflection on it in the room that it's in. I know a good deal about Plasmas and LCD, and learning about LED's now.

I know that this is a truck site, but with most of us being men I KNOW some of you guys have to have a nice TV so that's why I am asking.

DLP HD TV's are the best bang for the buck.

Plasma's and LCD TVs (flat panels) offer a brighter picture than DLPs. Plasma's use more electricity than LCDs and get very warm. DLPs hardly produce any heat.

The new LED flat panels are similar in picture clarity to the LCDs, are even thinner and use even less power.

You really can't go wrong with any of the above. Match your TV to your space and budget.

I'm no expert for sure but I do own quite a few TVs.

If you have any specific questions, feel free to ask.

Btw, as far as glare from the window. Some models offer mat finish screens instead of glossy ones. That would be your best bet.

Thumbs up

I like my Panasonic 50" 720P plasma! I've had it for 2 years 1 month, and the screen is pretty sweet. I would have to say that for 90% of the watching I do 720P is fine, but with 1080P prices for a 50" hovering down around $1,100 it's almost criminal not to pick one up! Good luck!
