TV's... what does the typical audiophile have?


Like a good stereo system, does the quality of the picture matter to the enjoyment of a program? Or is a high quality picture even necessary to "get the message" of the show?
So what do you watch your favorite show on?

No TV, but a front projector. Got an Optoma H30 DLP front projector about two months ago. I sold my TV back in January to buy a pair of speakers. I don't miss it one bit. (obligatory Onion link ) I fire up the PJ once or twice a week to watch a DVD or laserdisc.

Jax2 comment above about having to have a light-controlled (darkened), nearly dedicated room for front projection is sort of enlightening. I imagine we see a similar comment regarding high end stereos from the unwashed. "But it needs a dedicated room." "You need to set the room up around the speakers." "Need need to sit in the sweet spot." Etc. Same thing with video and film. Both regardless of technology look best in a light-controlled room. But some people refuse to make that tradeoff. But that's OK. That's their particular set of criteria. nothing is wrong with that. Just an observation.
Wow Richingoth! I had a Toshiba too. 36af61. It was a gorgeous standard definition tube, IMO. My mom has the 27af41 and loves it.
