LCD or DLP?


I'm looking for a 50" TV, because it's time to go HD baby! ;-)

LCD is supposed to project a better image, but I've never been impressed with LCD monitors. A buddy just bought a 50" Samsung DLP and he says it's the schnizel. Any suggestions or recommendations?

Thanks,
DB

I visited Circuit City and Best Buy this week and looked extensively at the pictures on all of their big screen plasmas, LCD's, DLP rear projection, LCD rear projection, LCoS rear projection, including the JVC I-LA, and Sonys 50" SXRD.Prices ranged from $1,499.00 to about $10,000.00.
Conclusion: The Sony 50" SXRD LCoS rear projection TV had overall the best picture resolution, contrast, deep blacks, and color accuracy in my friends, as well as my own opinion,
by a comfortable margin, and at a relatively reasonable price...Can be had for less than $3,000 delivered on the web!
I agree totally with the review of the Sony in the November 2005 issue of Sound and Vision magazine.
I am saving my pennies as well!
Dawgbyte,
You must be thinking that I am talking about the first generation Sony SXRD rear projection tv.
I am not.
I am talking about the newest latest generation Sony KDS-R50XBR1 SXRD 50" LCoS rear projection tv.
Retail is $4,000.00, not $10,000.00 or higher.
Go to www.ecoustics.com.
In the upper right hand corner it will ask: What are you looking for?
Punch in: Sony KDS-R50XBR1
It will show you a complete listing of retailers and their prices, as well as reviews and customer reviews.
As you can see, it can be had for less than $3,000.00 DELIVERED!
Hope this helps.
