Rear projection TVs?
 

The viewing angle is horrible, you have to be directly in front of the TV to be able to watch.

But if you're in front of it, the huge screen size and 1/4 of the cost of the plasma, make it an attractive buy.. What do you think?

Or should I go with a regular 38" HDTV? The 38" CRT HDTV costs the same as the 49" Rear Projection

i picked up a 62" rear projection from someone for $500 because they were moving and didn't want to deal with it. you're right, the viewing angles suck unless you are on the couch right in front of it, but i don't think i could ever go to a smaller tv now that i am used to the big screen.

I have a 52" rear projection Hitachi, Dont have the problem you speak of very happy with it :thumbsup

exactly. I got a 62 inch and I only have one couch so no matter where you're sitting its a perfect view. lol. I really like it for playying video games a la san andreas

Not all of them have that same problem go to Bestbuy and check out the screens from different angles and you will see that there are some with filters that fix this problem...

I have a 55" Mitsubishi rear projection 1080HDTV. There are a few spots in the room where you lose the brilliance of the picture, but for the most part it's tight as hell. The worst part about the TV is the glare from the windows. You have to angle the fucker strategically :2 cents:

Price compared to headaches? It's not that bad. I would definitely buy another projection. Good luck with your decision :thumbsup

I've always been happy with my 61" RCA rear projection TV. Would be nice if it had composite video, but its 6 years old anyway.

I have the Mitsubishi 65" 1080HDTV and it looks good from almost every place in my family room.

I bought a 60" Hitachi in 99 and I used it up till now with no problems at all. Just replaced it with a 65" Mitsubishi

I have one its great

I have a 65" Mitsubishi rear projection and I can set and a angle and see it just fine. What is your lighting like in the room?

I have a 60"Hitachi Super Ultravision and a Sony 48" big screen.

I paid $1850 (Canadian) for BOTH of them combined.

I am not complaining a bit :thumbsup

The Pioneer Elite is the best of the best rear projection made. I have it and it's simply awesome:)

bigger the better

when I worked for Sega we used rear projection for some of the big games (like sega rally, Lost world, etc), now these moitors were £3000 compared to the standard rear projection TV price of £1000. We had no real problems with viewing from all angles, I guess you get what you pay for :)

Ive had this one for a couple years now I like it more than all my plasmas and lcd's combined.

Best TV ever made.

CRT's are better in quality than projections any day. But bang-for-the-buck wise projections are better than CRT's

so do you want bang-for-the-buck or quality it all depends on you.

BTW:
DLP rear projection >>>>>> LCD rear projection >>>> standard rear projection

Plasma screens look like shit and no one notices.

Flat screens look like shit and no one notices.

Curved CTR style TV's look the best.


Best TV on earth = 40" HDTV CRT



P.S. you are all sheep. if its new and someone says its good you buy it.

Shut up clueless. I went to 5 different stores and bought the best tv I saw. Simple enough.
