Awesome TV

 

Awesome TV

This is the best DLP TV out there. That is why you cannot find one now. Last price I saw was $300 more than what I paid 2yrs ago. It's that good. It has a better HD picture than most current sets with only 1080I. Keep in mind that HD TV is only...

Cost $350 a year

I've had this TV for two years now. Every 12 months the bulb burns out. Cost = $350 for each bulb. My last bulb burnt out in 7 months. If you buy this TV, expect to buy a new lamp every year. On the plus side, it is very easy to replace. The picture is...

Opinion after one week of owning

Like some "big screen" buyers, I looked for a couple of weeks at most all the models. I mostly looked in the 50" size. I did not consider plasma because of the price. I boiled it down to DLP. Then down to Toshiba or Panasonic. In DLP Toshiba has the 46...

I'm very happy with this TV

 

I'm very happy with this TV

I spent about three months reviewing big HD TV's and settled on the 50" DLP from Panasonic. This is how and why I made my decision: 1. CRT Projection - Not considered. 2. Plasma - Very expensive for a good picture (prices vary all over, but to get a...
