I owned an SXRD rear projection Sony TV, and it had the infamous green tint that made me have to get a replacement. When it worked, the picture was stunning, but the whole debacle soured me on Sony products in a big way. A top of the...

I'm hoping there's enough loyalists that the technology will stay longer. Most people I know who own plasmas don't want another technology. Or maybe plasma will just be a "Costco/Sam's Club" type product that stays inexpensive. Even if...

It's a shame too because I'd like to buy things second-hand but pricing is so ridiculous I don't even want to fool with it. I consider "haggling range" to be more around the 20% range. I really don't have the time or energy to go...

I knew this generation of 3D was going nowhere, but I guess you can't blame manufacturers for trying some gimmick to boost sales and margins on a product that has become a commodity with slim profits. I'd honestly prefer if the TV...

Other than the cost issue, I would pass on a new DLP set. A really large LCD or Plasma at one time was ridiculously expensive, so DLP used to make sense because they were quite a bit cheaper to get a really big screen. DLP televisions...
