Friend of mine is looking for a TV... here are the candidates:
Sony 36XBR (4:3)
Sony 40XBR (4:3)
Panasonic 40" LCD projection (16:9)
Sony 51" 16x9 projection (51HW I beleive)
His viewing distance is 9 feet. He is worried about the viewing angle if he goes with the 51" Sony.
With the Sony 36 and 40, he does not get a 16:9 screen.
He seems to like the Panny 40" LCD and it seems to be a great compromize but its also the most expensive of the bunch. Is the LCD technology there yet? Is he rolling the dice with regards to dead pixels?
He does not want a 16:9 Toshiba because of the upscaling. He is also worried of the quality of the 51" projection on standard cable TV viewing.
Are we missing a set that should be considered? If he goes projection, he wants 16:9. What should he get? What would you get?
