Hi all. I'm looking for recommendations for a ~60" set to replace my Mits 55613, which is showing signs of biting the dust soon. I wasn't really in that big of a hurry to get a new set, but I started looking around at what little selection there is now, and I started to worry that if I wait till this set dies, I may not be able to get a rptv anymore.
I really like the blacks on the CRT rptv, and would like any new set to at least approach that quality.
I would get a plasma if I could afford it and just hang it on the wall, but that is going to cost at least twice what these rptvs are now going for.
Anyway, I was mostly interested in the new Mits 735/6 series, but in reading reviews on Best Buy and Circuit City sites, there sure seem to be a lot of problems with bulb burnout and power modules. I don't really know much about the new Samsungs.
Now, I just was reading about the Sony A3000 sets, and the reviews seem to be stellar regarding picture quality and lack of motion blur. I can apparently still get one from sears.com.
I will be watching HD cable, HDDVD, and eventually Blu-Ray, as well as the SD channels on cable. The TV will be in the family room, and I have heavy fabric blinds I can lower, which make outside light not too much of a problem.
What are the pros and cons of each of these three brands? Thanks much for any help.
