hi gang im considering getting a new tv.an hdtv to replacce my old 10 year old panasonic tv.are hdtv with tubes any good?is the brand dynex a good brand?thanks benbernie
Ugh, stay way from any tube tv unless you are a weight lifter. Those things are usually big and bulky and can weigh in at a whopping 200+ pounds. Very limited on screen size as well. If you are not going to be watching much tv, possibly a tv left in the bedroom, then I would buy a Dynex. If you plan on putting a lot of hours on your tv, then DON'T buy a Dynex. As I always say, consider what you will be using the tv for, before making a purchase. Will you be watching lots of movies, sports, or playing any video games on it? Are there any viewing problems in your house/apt such as too much light in the living room? Take a look around this site and you will see that people always ask this question. Maybe you can find some answers there. As you will notice some prefer DLP, some prefer LCD, and some prefer Plasma. They all have their pros and cons. Make sure you do a little research before buying your tv. Update: Try updating the title to this thread, if you don't, it may get closed! Always put a little more thought into the title.
Do you or have you ever owned either of those technologies iluv? I'm in the market for a new DLP or LCOS. My last set was a 51", so I'm thinking going at least 57" or 65".
@Goodswipe bro, don't have one yet, but my friends do, and with a good upconverting player-- awesome! They have a JVC D-ILA and an Oppo player combo. They can't be happier, ( JVC better price than $ony ). Killer picture!
Yea, I've just seen Samsung and Mitsu's DLP. Been looking at a couple SXRD's, they are nice as well. Haven't seen a JVC set yet. They don't seem to carry many JVC products at the store I shop at, hell I don't think they even have those at the BB here in my town! Does DLP use the new 3-chip design or is that just a LCOS thing? Update: Looks like DLP uses that in their digital projectors, not the RP tv's. LCOS/SXRD does use this in their RP tv's, this eliminates any rainbow effect on the tv that have been seen on many DLP's(never been an issue).
If 3 chip DLP then it is called 3DLP, otherwise just DLP is 1 chip. Bragging rights u know. 3DLP way better than just 1DLP chip. To get 1080, DLP previously used wobulation, a quasi method of getting 1080. I rather have LCD over DLP.
Bro, goto Sound and Vision mag's website and do a search or Home Theater mags website and do thge same. Should be free. http://www.soundandvisionmag.com/ http://www.hometheatermag.com/
Ok, from what I gathered the 3-chip design is only used in front projectors. The newer single-chip RP DLP's use separate red, green, and blue LEDs which eliminates the need for a color wheel, thus ridding you of the rainbow effect. All SXRD(LCOS) sets use the 3-chip technology.
Awhile back, last year, I saw a JVC D-ILA RPTV at Costco that was 720 - old stuff they were trying to get rid of. May have a few around ( other tv stores ) . All the new ones are 1080, so be careful of what u r buying.
Oh trust me, when it comes to my money, I'm very careful! Looks like I might be saving up for one of these LED RP sets. Or I can roll with a LCOS, I dunno what I'll do. I'm definitely going to hold out for awhile and get the best that I can in that market.
For pricing try ebay or a place called Abe's of Maine http://www.google.com/url?q=http://...t&cd=1&usg=AFQjCNFDUNaUc_IMHsGAz4bBT4wqyfrWkg
I'm either going to get one from Fry's or I'm gonna shop around all these stores to get an idea of what I'm working with, then order it off Newegg. I wonder if benbernie is going to come back and update us? lol
Becareful of Fry's, a lot of stuff is either refurb ( and not disclosed as such ) or returns sold as NIB. Benbernie who?
Yea, I mainly buy computer parts or DVD's from them. I have yet to purchase a tv from them. I'll watch out fo sho! Bernie, the guy who originally started this thread, lol.
