Wife and I have visited more than a few big box stores and following the advice of asylum members, we made note of lighting, angles, audio, remote performance and ability to make the desired adjustments. Some of the better sets were so poorly setup that I am surprised they sell at all. I work in graphic arts. Spend much time in Photoshop and need to be able to manipulate the video. We were leaning toward the Sony 50" SXRD rear projection as it was consistantly pleasing in all environments. Plazmas were soon removed from the mix because of reflections. Weight and energy consumtion is also a negative for us with the Plazmas. The 52" Sharp LCD 1080p performes well, has a good remote, decent audio(we only use the HT for movies and a few TV shows). A fair amount more(dollars) but the long term expense of maintaining a DLP is a negative. Also I do not like the idea of progressive dimming as the bulb fades. I am wondering if the long term consistant performance of the LCD makes it a good choice. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks in advance- Tom

Hi thereYou seem to have painted yourself into a corner.
You didn't mention front projection or CRT, so those options are presumably tossed. Plasma has been rejected. All rear projection (DLP, LCD and LCoS/SXRD) have been rejected (due to bulb cost and aging). Isn't LCD panel the only technology left?Have you seen this comparison?
Regards
Excellent article. I need to study it carefully. I am now hesitant to but the Sharp LCD because there is much disatisfaction over in the AVS forum. Wife is pushing for the Sony SXRD. I am wondering if I should just buy the Samsung 50" 720p DLP. It looks terrific and I can get it locally for just under $1200 and in two or three years maybe the SHARP or some other LCD will be better- no banding- verticle and horizontal. Thanks again
After spending several weeks looking at different technologies and models, and after several months of reading, I bought the Sony 50" SXRD about a year ago. I'm very happy with it,most of the time it's used for dvds but I do watch a lot of HD sports. The fast-action scenes are sharp and clean and off-axis viewing (which is not really a concern for me) isn't too bad. This year's model will accept a 1080p input where as mine will not. I don't think that's a big deal but it's worth mentioning. Both display at 1080p and it simply looks great in a low-light room. Get it and enjoy, you can drive yourself insane second guessing.
