Appealing to the AVS gurus on this board. I have the Pioneer RPTV PRO710HD and still going strong. I'm trying to stay away from the stores so I'm not convinced to sell and or upgrade.
Anyway, my father called to tell me that his 16 year old (horrible picture if you can imagine on a 16 yr old set) finally died. He doesn't have a clue but went to the store and looked at the Panasonic 60" LCD PT-60LCX64 which was going for about 2800 with stand. I know that Samsung has some nice DLP sets but I don't know how much they go for...
He's OK with spending up to about 3K and I really think that he should set his sights on DLP because of the bright displays and optimum price vs. performance.
Can anyone offer any advice or refer me to a great sale right now for a DLP that's around 60-61 inches? He's an impulse buyer so I wanted to shop very quickly for him so he doesn't overpay and buy something that doesn't fit his needs!!
