I don't know too much about tvs compared to some people on this board but this deal seems decent if not hot. It's a Philips 60-inch HDTV Projection TV for $1464. I couldn't find any reviews tho. I'm not sure about shipping.

4:3 aspect HDTV for > $1000 = not hot.

The 57" true HDTV 16:9 from Philips is about the same price.

EDIT: Wrong picture on the site - may very well be a hot deal!

It's not bad for the price. I checked it out in store and it would look best if you could sit about 15-20 ft away. I got this instead. It is larger and looks way better in my opinion.

I have that concern along with the brightness of the bulb (how long it will stay that way) and the cost to replace it.

Why do you say that the picture is wrong? Do a search for the model number and you will quickly see that it is the right picture. I personally have a Philips 60" 16:9 HDTV in my home and I love it.

I'm using my cousins projector, and it is NICEEEEE!!!! 😎 I don't suggest you watch during the day, it is possible though. The image will looked watered out, but then again i don't have blinds in my room. if you can control the lighting, you should be fine. it doesn't even have to be pitch black in the room to watch.



the bulbs last about 3000 - 4000 hours. The best show ive seen on HDTV is The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. It's super clear, you can almost see the fibers on his suit. if i had some money, i would have a projection tv for tv viewing, and a projector for movie viewing!
 
around $300

i suggest the projector though, very nice. i would get one myself, but i need something that hte whole family can watch. go to hometheatreforum and check to find the best projector. i think panasonic released a new one
 
Picked one up at Sam's yesterday. Our old 61" was getting dimmer after 10 years so I checked Samclub.com and they were out of stock, both online and all local click-n-pull. Was picking up some other things and found they still had them even if they aren't in the computer. Very happy with the picture and features.
 
I don't think this is 16:9, I know it comes says that on the philips site but I think that means that when it is in 16:9 mode it will add black bars to the top and the bottom of the screen and sharpen the resolution. That is why it comes with APAC. I don't think that any non widescreen tv comes in 16:19. But of course I could be wrong. Also, every other site lists this as a 4:3
 
Exactly... that's why I posted that warning.

I, myself, have a Philips 55" 16:9 widescreen, and this special seems to be for a 4:3 TV, not a widescreen.
 
People are telling me the APAC feature is very annoying- the picture visibly shifts back and forth. Anyone notice this?
 
Philips TV's are in the same class as Apex, Symphonic, Goldstar, RCA/GE, etc, for quality.
Sorry, for those that purchased one, but true.
They are one of the bottom dwellers.
Have seen many in for repair, less than 2 years old, and the chassis are an ugly, poor quality sight to see.

Personally have an X1 and love it, although Sanyo too is not a top quality brand, but is better than above.

Sorry a little off topic but RobsTV, do you see alot of Sonys in the shop these days? I personally had a 36" XBR die on me after 2 years. A bunch of my other friends have had their Sonys go bad too. But the guys on AT seem to be enamoured with them. What is your professional opinion of their recent quality?

I heard the Sanyo Z2s are a best buy right now, I can get one for about 1800 shipped and it does DLP native support for 1280x720.

I was debating between an x1 and a z1 but I just got recommended the z2 and that looks far better then the X1.


what do you think? Id liek to hear your input.

I've read the z1 has bulb lifetime problems,wonderful picture though.The z2 has an even better picture but I think it's too new to comment on the bulb. Go to avsforum.com and do a search on sanyo z1 or z2. You'll read a ton about it. Z2 is a definite upgrade to X1

Most TVs even CRT type such for PC use. Remember the resoultion of TVs are much, much lower than what a computer can possibly display. Look for ones that at least display true 720, it will give you a btter picture than most.
