Okay ive been searching and searching for deals and what not on TVs and which ones to get.... but only in flat panel. somone told me that DLP's can compete with a good flat panel...

so my question is...

For comparison reasons as this was the TV that i was looking at, what is a comparable DLP TV to the Sharp Aquos 46" model 64U?



sorry if this question has been raped

At best you're comparing an apple with an orange.

I forget which but when i was browsing there was a wall mountable one.

In my opinion, if you have the space for DLP and are not planning on watching your tv with any crazy angles, there's no need to get an LCD.

Another thing you have to remember is that it's not fair to compare two TVs of different sizes. Look at a 50" flat panel then check out a 50" DLP.
Plasma I would never buy unless there was absolutely no way that they could burn in, so that leaves LCD.


My buddy has a 46" Bravia with an ISF calbriation done to it. I still see no reason to get an LCD but I'm sure when he finally comes and sees my 61" LED DLP he may start to wonder why he paid almost twice as much for a much smaller TV.

sorry if this question has been rapedYou can buy a 61" DLP for the price of a 46" LCD. Which would you rather be watching the big game or your favorite movie on? For example a Samsung xx87s display (1080P LED DLP RPD) offers instant on/off, no motion issues, no burn in, and no bulb ever to change!

Neither?

People need to get away from the erroneous assumption that one type display is inherently better than another. Nothing could be further from the truth. There are equally numerous examples of good and bad displays in every class. As technology improves in each class, more and more the main differences are not what's in the screen, but what's behind it.

Crappy upscaling, crappy tuners, crappy video processing and noise filtering, all of these things can be found in all display classes, in abundance. The real test of a display is not how well it displays HD video, but how well is displays SD and broadcast-quality video.

So, buying a display simply because it is or isn't one type or another is foolish. Buy it because you like the way it looks and performs, or because it gives you the most bang for the buck.

rdgrimes, Did you really say: The real test of a display is not how well it displays HD video, but how well is displays SD and broadcast-quality video.

Thats like saying the real test of a race car is how much gas it uses to get to Wal Mart, please...............

You are right about the quality of cable/satellite transmission, tuners, etc. etc, but I have to add that I have both an LCD and DLP tv. Both are excellent. For our larger TV, 56" we went DLP and love it. For the bedrooms, we went 40" LCD and love them too. All Samsung's. We have FIOS so we get some very nice transmission quality.

I would recommend to the original poster that if 46" is as large as he wants to go, get the LCD, they are easier to live with and DLP does not come in a size that small.

If you want the large movie theater/sports arena feel, go larger and get a DLP, tho a bit more tempermental, worth the effort for the viewing fun.

And forget about SD, who cares????, keep the crappy old CRT until you are ready for HD.

The displays really don't compete with each other because of the typical sizes involved.


I'd give the edge to DLP - LCOC (IDLA / SXRD) because of the 65" and even 70"+ sizes hands down for the cost.
