I agree with SimiA the Panasonic PT-50LC14 is the best bang for the buck for what you seem to be describing. You might even have enough money left over to get him a HTIB system. Good luck

Im going to suggest that the market is changing so much recently that you won't find a good answer for what will be available after June 2005. Products that do 1080p are just now breaking onto the seen right now. Wait...watch...learn. By the way if you are interested in front projection...

350:1 contrast ratio? not good

Quote Because as I stated, the HD was the main reason i chose the Xbox this generation because it allowed for modability. I like the Xbox games alot but the PS2 always seems to have great games coming out and while the Xbox has better graphics and audio capability, the PS2 still has more games...

Thanks for the reply. Quote you want to be able to walk right up to the screen, set your head against the glass and have your head precisely cover Seinfeld's right? Yes exactly, with the caveat that its a picture of a relatively standard conversational close-up of jerry or whoever...

Most of the discussion I see for screen size centers around how big and and what distance you sit from the screen. I want a screen size that shows a persons head at about a 1:1 ratio when the camera is at about 5 foot close up. That seems about the distance from the camera for casual...

All right maybe Im not making myself clear. I dont want a 16:9 native set that does 4:3. I just want a 4:3 set And it doesnt have to be CRT...LCD, DLP, rear projection anything. I just dont want to see black or grey bars going down the side

Are there any large sets (40in and up) out there that have a 4:3 ratio It seems like anything over 30in goes to the 16:9 format.

Not to hijack the thread. But it seems to me that movies at the movie theater seem larger than real life...say something like a 3:1 ratio. Now I know the distance to what your looking at in the film makes a huge difference on how big. But at what size screen do you get roughly a 1:1...

I recieved an XM roady for christmas and I was wondering if anyone has messed around with trying to use it in the home. Seems like you could easily use it in any boom box with the proper power connection. Anyone run over to radio shack and buy a power adapter so that you could use it in a...

Thanks Jeff I thought it would be impossible to generate the kind of brightness needed with that setup. Im running as fast as my little legs will take me.

What do you know about fresnel lenses What kind of picture do they give? What kind of brightness can they give? any information about them would be much appreciated

Already seen it and yes it does look sweet. Im still worried about images moving really fast and seeing some kind of pixelation. Would a DLP work as well? there is no chance for burn in with that option either right? Anyone using the PT-50LC13 as a display for console games and PC games?

Has anyone else noticed that large fast moving objects on a LCD display causes distotions. I've seen it once or twice while I was in best buy. Is this just the case on lower end LCD's or is this a problem all LCD screens Im wondering because Im trying to evaluate technologies for a...

Multi-chip DLP's Aren't the high end projectors use multi chip DLP technology? I havent heard of this being useing in a monitor yet. Sounds like the technology is already been proven and that it could come to the market a lot quicker than SED or OLED technology. Anyone have a...

Some things to consider. If your playing video games on it then typically you'll sit somewhere between 8 to 12 ft away. Generally a screen that is somewhere between 40 to 50 inches is considered optimal for that distance. You should take a look at a few threads that discuss screen size to...

So do FP's work then if there is sun light coming into the room. I was under the impression it would be difficult to see in a room with a lot of sunlight? The other thing is what do you project it onto? Is there some drop down screen that you have? I must admit I dont know that much about FP.

Yeah no possibility for lightcontol. This is going to be in the family room and there are windows and patio glass doors all around and I will be sharing the space with others. So if I go with a DLP RPTV what are my choices. Is samsung it? Has anyone here used a DLP as a computer...

I like the sony CRT and the loewe but I just cant stand the 200lb plus weight. So its either lcd/plasma/DLP or ? projection projection doesnt seem to work to well in highlight areas. Maybe its just my experience from what I have seen on the show floors but lcd seems to not be all that...

I was under the impression that plasma TV's dont do well as computer monitors. Does the Sony KV-34XBR910 have a VGA input? I have a dream of one day surfing the web for stats while Im watching a football game split screen on the TV. and Watching the football game on th TV while on...

The Sony KV-34XBR910 Does seem like a good choice...but 200lbs. Damm that seems like a ton to lug around. I was think 4000 or less....and I was hopping 42" or more.

I am in the initial stages of planning my Home entertainment system and Im trying to decide what to go with for a display. It will be in a high light area. Plenty of sunshine will be in the room. Also I would like it to be able to be used as a display for my computer. It will display DVD's...
