Over the past year I have been scouring forums looking for decent and space saving solutions for my Home Theater. The problem I have is my budget for the TV, $4000-$5000 CAD. (for TV) and the environment it will be in.
I live in a small and oddly shaped condo, that has a kitchen, work area and a dying 27 inch Zenith T.V. (I have pictures of the condo but have no knowledge of how to post them on the forum.)
Toshiba's 57 inch LCoS sets intrigue me, with the 1080p and EXTREME resolution and small size of depth. But I do not have nearly the amount of money needed. (57HL83, 8 Thousand Dollars Canadian)
Plasma also looks good, but its still somewhat of a new product and still very expensive for something that is improving so rapidly. But a 42 inch plasma would look rather good above the fireplace.
A problem with projection TV’s is that I would only be sitting 8-9 ft from the screen. And that I cannot stand the pixilated look some of the TV's have. Another problem is that they cant be to large in depth because it must fit through my door.
Which is about 35.5 inches in width.
A projector would be VERY nice for obvious reasons but I’m not sure how my rooms would accommodate one, I am also wondering about how much light ruins the picture, because I have many windows...
Although I am anxious to get a TV, I can wait for new models to appear because I am determined to get the best possible TV for my money.
Just some basic requirements for a TV.
42 inch or larger
HDTV that can handle 720p or higher. (1080p for LCoS)
Good resolution
16x9
DVI inputs
Small size of depth of the TV
Can fit through my door.
ANY HELP would be greatly appreciated.
PS: If anyone has home theater product contacts in the Vancouver area, that too would come as good news. Just PM me.(A&B Sound is a little pricey and doesn't have much to offer.)
