yes there are. just check out best buy or w/e. they tell you right on the page of the tv you're looking at.
 
I personally prefer the look of a DLP picture, but to each his own.

keep it to mind i will go to best buy tommrow and check them out. with my dad we are leaning towards the 60in panasonic
 
I got mine at PC Richards in NJ as did my friend. I haven't shopped TVs in a long time but I have a feeling you could get that 60LC14 for $2400-2700.
 
does anyone know any stores in california around rancho cucamonga or LA or sumthing i might just have to yellow page it.

i found it online for $2369.
 
For $1000, you can get an InFocus 4805 front DLP projector with a 72" screen from costco. It will be this price later on with a coupon from costco. Right now its $1199. If you have the space and lighting control, this is what I'd go for.

I don't know much about lcd projectoion, i know that smasung DLP projection TVs are really nice once they are properly calibrated.

Toshiba no good? That would surprise me, since they make decent products generally.

from what i heard i could get better, also we have 3 toshiba t.v's the 55in bigscreen ( being replaced), my parents have a t.v in there room by toshiba has dvd and vcr build in not sure about size, and my bro has a 20in with vcr.

i have a panasonic 13in 😀. and my bro does to, he got his 1st in white i got mine same but in black.
 
Heard it where? I don't think I've ever heard someone tell me that samsung makes better televisions than toshiba.
 
Well the sites I just went to all seem to indicate that toshiba is pretty dang good. Check out home theater magazine, for example, which rated the toshiba rear projection the highest in its roundup.
 
its all about personal taste. get the ones you like best from the stores. visit like 4 different stores to see them in different settings. also do some research over on AVS forums.

i am very happy with my 50" samsung DLP and would not trade it for anything in the world. (i know, crappy pics)

One thing I think we can all agree on is stay away from RCA.

🙁

I still have an old RCA that has been around for 17 years and still hums along. I bought the 36 Xbox TV and it is not even as good as the old one.

Yeah I think they used to be decent. But now they are consistently ranked at the bottom in terms of average reliability. They offer good value if you don't need your TV to last too long, though.
 
Samsung sets the benchmark for DLP TV's. Look for their newest (i heard it was out now) 3 chip DLP.


Samsung is to DLP as Sony is to CRT (trinitron)
 
Check out:
AVSFORUM
HT Spot

You can search for the specific model and see what problems, pros and cons there may be.

I was at BB this weekend and was looking at all the TV's. I still think CRT has the best picture. I don't mind DLP but I think LCD and Plasmas look too digital. It's not a natural picture.
