I almost went for the bigger Toshiba.
but for the room size, spending the extra $$$ is not worth it. :)

Cool. :D Yeah, when we had it at the apartment, it was a bit too close (and by a bit, I mean a LOT). But in our new house it is AWESOME!. You can see it here

:D

You guys should really look into front projector. I got an Panasonic AE-100 for $1500 and it makes a beautiful 100 inch 16x9 TV. Not bad for 1500 :)

Pics in the sig.

I just bought one of these out of the back of a van in the Home Depot parking lot last night, it turns out some new guy ordered too many and they had to go...for $399 bucks!

I can't wait to go home tonight and plug it in ;)

There was never a white van. Witnesses were just too quick on the trigger thinking... *BANG* wow there goes a white van in the area.

Me too, but the guy said they were stolen and the serial numbers were missing. Heck, I can't pass up a good deal!

I'm getting a great deal on this TV.

Panasonic suggests $3299
i am paying $2599 after a $200 mail in rebate
and $300 off for a trade in on a 20" Sony Wega sealed brand new in the box. :D
it becomes like $2300 plus free delivery.

fantastic, thats exactly a grand cheaper than MSRP.

prices are in Canadian of course. :D

that's a very nice price, but I'd think you could get more than US$200 for a sealed 20" Wega. Crutchfield has them for US$350, although that might not be the same model you have.

edit: actually, maybe not such a nice price. Onecall has this model (very similar) for US$1529 shipped = CAN$2389. That's without trading in a $350 Wega.

LOL @ your sig. Funny article! :D

Too bad that these projectors on this thread are all CRT based. I mena to say that they are certainly not bad TVs, but, simply that DLP rear projectors and LCD projectors are much better than CRT projectors (IMO). The difference between LCD proj and CRT proj are amazing. I spent some time at BestBuy adjusting a LCD proj and a similar sized CRT proj right next to it. The LCD proj is much sharper, and much brighter.

I have yet to see a DLP rear proj in person, but they are supposed to be loads better than even LCD proj. They don't have screen burn in problems, which is still really a problem considering many widescreen TVs are displaying 4:3 content(network TV).

Also, to note, CRTs will wear out meaning possibly replacing eaach and or all of the affected CRT tunes, whereas in a DLP projector, only a light bulb has to be replaced. Samsung makes relativley inexpesive DLP rear proj, as seen from BB Samsing DLP TV

Really though, I wouldn;t mind having that TV; its a great TV, and, you can't always keep up with technology, you have to pick somewhere.
