[QUOTE="Lord Foul, post: 2434768, member: 20973"] The web sites the other two posters have noted are good. I've used them myself. DLP is the way to go. The color and picture is so much better than LCD that it is very easy to see the difference. Also you don't have to worry about "burn ins" like the stations logo at the bottom of the screen as much. I work in the cable industry and see a lot of tvs. The one I see the most is Sony. I have done quite a bit of research (as I'm buying a new HDTV next month) and from what I've read Sony seems to be one of the higher rated ones in DLP. Hitachi is rated the highest in LCD. Hitachi makes most of the light guns that go into most brands of LCD HDTVs but make a higher grade light gun for themselves. Another thing to look at if you get a LCD is does it have a digital tuner? Don't get it. Your local cable Co. should offer HDTV with DVR sevice. Ther is your dual digital tuner with Tivo like functions. then you can put the money you save on the tuner into a bigger screen. :cool: AFAIK all DLPs come with a digital tuner. One other thing....Ask your local TV dealer when he is running a sale. Mine said that Sony usually runs a sale in the fall on TVS so that they can clear out inventory for the new stuff that comes out at Christmas. Hope this helps. PS. Stay away from Plasma......Nothing but junk IMHO. [/QUOTE]
