HDTV assistance please
My dad has decided to make the jump to HD and is going big.
I would love some help finding him a few choices of 60" HDTVs around the $2000 and under range. Found a Sony Bravia at Sears for $1699 http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_1...000P?adCell=W3 the same TV at Newegg is $1999. Any opinions or other options you may know about would be appreciated. Also, is the one at sears a good option or should I have him wait until next week for the superbowl sales? |

Crutchfield has amazing customer service IMO, so he definitely has that going for him. Nice purchase!

Agreed on that. They bend over backwards to help people.

We've logged over 500 hours and have noticed NO decrease in blacks or anything which remotely resembles what the hysteria described. I think some people got defective units. Knock on wood, we were not one of them. Panasonic should address those who did. Unfortunately, their mismanagement of the situation caused what looked like isolated problems to appear to be widespread. I would not hesitate to recommend Panasonic. We just bought our third. We did buy extended warranties just in case. But then I would buy it for any brand.

Pondering getting a 60-65 inch DLP TV. They are cheap and I like cheap.
Only question is...do they have the same clarity as LCD TVs? Oh...this is the one... http://www.amazon.com/Mitsubishi-WD-.../dp/B00166BNFS

Why didn't he go LED LCD at Costco? They extend the warranty by two years. |

They extend the warranty for no extra cost? Is this on all tvs or just LEDs?

Well, it is crazy BS, yes. But its not exclusive to you. I will definitely have to keep Costco in mind next time I look at tvs. My good friend is the meat manager at Costco in KC. I wonder if he could hook me up.

The sharpness of the picture on my current rear projection HDTV doesn't compare to LCD models I see.

I think they have just as much clarity (that's kinda vague, though) as LCDs and plasmas as long as you are looking straight on at the tv. I would recommend going into a few local stores that still have some DLPs for sale and comparing them yourself. You don't have to buy from them. Just go look to see for yourself.
