Are they really that nice? How do they compare to the Aquos line?

I agree!:thumbsup:
Take a look at the new Samsumg HL-S5087W. It uses the latest generation DLP TI chip, and has a 5 segment color wheel. It has native 1080p resolution, it can take a 1080p signal through it's 2 HDMI inputs. It has 10000:1 contrast, 10 bit processing, and a game mode.
You should see it in stores around 5/10/06, and you should have no problem getting it for about $2500.
You can find the HL-S6187W in some Sears, CC & BB, now if you want to take a peek.

I love it....the picture is crystal clear and being 1000 less than the Aquos was the nail in the coffin....but it has everything you need dvi (2), hdmi (1), vga (1), componet inputs (2)...only one word describes it.....awesome...
Don't ever take your TV to that guy to be repair EVER AGAIN. He's a moron.
Here you go. One of teh best deals going now. For $1839, this is an amazing TV and a steal at that price.
If I had the choice, I'd either get a Plasma or a DLP set. Not big on LCDs.

I would say get a LCD or a CRT based one unless you want to limit your tv watching because your going to have to replace bulbs all the time.
LCD I belive can come up with almost a 50,000 hour rate. Atleast thats what my 32" Olivia is rated at and a crt can last even longer then that. As far as picture quality goes nothing looks as good as a CRT based big screen especially the newer ones.
I bought a 65" Toshiba with the CRT tubes just because I didnt want to have to limit watching on it for I didnt want to have to spend $200-$800 on a buld every 2000-5000 hours of watching time. Its great if your one that doesnt watch tv that often but thats not the case here. Not to mention mine only cost $1100 and I have used the other money to get other stuff (bought my wife a new washer and dryer). Got it from overstock as a refurb and has been wonderful to us. Gets watched for several hours a day every day and have sice hooked up my gaming pc to it through the HDMI connection and it looks outstanding.
My TV incase you may think of getting one.

RP CRTs are cheap, that's the only positive thing I can say about them. IMO, CRTs (RP) are the worst HD technology you can buy today. As for $800 for a DLP lamp? It's more like $250. I don't know where you're getting $800 from. But if you do want something big and cheap, RP CRT are where it's at. I just prefer quality over quantity. I'd choose a 50" DLP over a 65" RP CRT any day. But that's just me.
Just another note, plasmas are rated at 60,000hrs now. The ONLY reason to choose an LCD over a plasma is if you can get it for cheaper. But a good plasma is going to have a much better picture quality.
