I purchased about three different TVs while going through this same process. First, Sony XBR 36". Great TV, best picture. But after looking at it a while I just kept coming back to the same statement: the image is too d@mn small. Back to the store it went, and home came the 34" widescreen Sony HDTV. Even better picture, widescreen finally. But once again, after a week: the image is too small for the price. Last and final TV, Mitsubishi Diamond 55". Image is great, progressive scan is great, picture size is just right. Upgrade to rear projection--the size of the picture contributes quite a bit to the movie experience. Good luck.
Direct View or Rear Projection TV
Hello:
I am interested in getting a TV for my new home. I am looking to spent less than $2K. I like the Sony 43" HD Monitor rear projection TV but I read that rear projection TVs in general have problems like tube burns and images been burnt on the screen. Reading about these problem makes me a little nervious about buying a rear projection TV. What is your opinion about them? Those of you who have owned rear projection TVs, do you see any of these problems? Or should I just get a 36" Wega? Thanks for you input.
