Ok guys I'm beginning to get the picture, pardon the pun. How about this plan, spend the $2500 on the set and wall mounting and save the calibration for later down the road. The thing is space is really at a premium but I figure we might as well max out with a great set now rather than get an interim solution, even if we have to wait to get it calibrated. Also I'm guessing from the responses that a projector is a non-starter?
Help with a new TV please
Hi everyone,
This is pretty new territory for me, my current version of "home theatre" is a 27" Panasonic tv. That's about to change however, the girlfriend and I are about to close on a new condo, our first as homeowners, and we are downsizing, not unexpectedly. To maximize space we thought a thin, wall mountable tv would be just the ticket, plasma or lcd. Then a thought crossed my mind, what about a projector? So I ask the experts out there, what is our best bet? This is for everyday tv and occasional movie watching. We want hdtv and we want longterm reliability is such a thing exists. Our total budget is $2500 hopefully that buys us a nice tv. Since my current set cost a cool $300 I figure something nice is out there. Our budget should include either wall or ceiling mounting as well as calibration. I eagerly await your advice.
Thanks,
Jon
