Re: big screen tvs??
65 inches for $1,500....that's gotta be a rear projection, cheap because they're rapidly becoming obsolete, but will probably work fine if you don't mind the limited angle view.<br /><br />If you want a true big screen, check out an actual ceiling or tabletop projector and pull down screen combo. There's HDTV capable projectors out there these days for about $1,000 to $1,500, and they can make screen sizes up over 100 inches. Beware you have to have a separate tuner for TV (but if you have satellite you already have one), and the screen costs a couple hundred. Those projectors have made HUGE strides over the past 2 years or so in terms of brightness. But if you have a lot of windows, it might still not be very good....they're best in darker rooms.<br /><br />Otherwise for standalone units, right now I feel DLP is the way to go in terms of bang for the buck. But I think you'll have to look a little smaller to get one in your price range....under 50 inches probably.<br /><br />Whatever you get, make darn sure it's HDTV capable, just in case the government decides to force their "All HDTV broadcasting" rule one of these days...then we'll ALL be out buying new TVs since our analogs will suddenly not work. But then again their first deadline has come & gone already, so I doubt it'll be forced real soon.
