HDTV Review Sites?

[Vortex22]

Anyone know of a good site with reviews of new HDTV sets?

This might be a good jumping off point starting with consumer reviews: http://www.audioreview.com/defaultcrx.aspx

Home theater mag might also be of interest: http://www.hometheatermag.com/

Personally I would reccomend one of the Samsung HDTV's (DLP): http://www.samsungusa.com/cgi-bin/nabc/product/b2c_product_subtype.jsp?eUser=&prod_path=%2fAudio+and+Video%2fTV%2fDLP+TV

Samsung's new HLN (NOT HLM, this is the old set...) lineup is rather impressive.

Can you hook a brother up with a good price on a 50+" Samsung widescreen? 🙂

You might notice on Samsung's site that there are two versions of each particular screen size. One has a very thin border around the screen the other doesn't...

HLN437W $2848: http://store.yahoo.com/lgdsuperstore/hln437w.html
HLN5065W $3288: http://store.yahoo.com/lgdsuperstore/hln5065w.html

Damn, that's a bit out of my price range 🙂

Skoorb, what is your range?

Right now I am looking for a projection HDTV anywhere from 42 and up depending on the deal. I really don't want to spend more than a grand but I know I will probably end up paying arround 1.5K. I have been lurking arround the AVS forums and trying to find what they are recommending and using but they have some expensive tastes.

The one I am looking right now is....

Panasonic 47" Widescreen HDTV Monitor Brand/Model: PAN PT47WX53 $1399 shipped from Circut City

Panasonic 47-inch Widescreen HDTV Monitor PT-47WXC43 $1382 shipped (not sure what the difference is but you would be able to knock of $98 if you picked it up from Walmart


If anyone has any imput please let me know

This is around my price range. What do you guys think of that one? Can't get a big projection TV... no room. I would have liked a 36'' but it jacks up the price by almost $500 and we were trying to stay around 1k.

Yeah, that is why I just figured I would go for a projection. The price increase was so high. Have you though about trying to get a widescreen? a phillips?

A 3D comb filter is better than a 3-line filter, correct? Or will I probably not even be able to tell the difference?

I just had my new set delivered last night. It's a Mitsubishi WL-82913. It's pretty sweet for high-def material.

I think it depends on how close you sit to the tv...

here is a 36"
