Recliner Pilot 61 Posted December 18, 2006 The little woman and I decided to buy a TV for Xmas. I have seen the Mitsu at Best Buy and the picture was focking awesome. I'm gonna look at the Samsung today as well as go by a local store that does custom installs to see what they have. I want a big screen because it's going in a rather large living room and we are about to remodel to where the kitchen is open into this room as well. 1080i is a must. I have plenty of room so the extra depth of a DLP isn't a problem and you can get more TV for the money vs. plasma or lcd. Any suggestions/advice would be appreciated. 61" Samsung DLP http://www.circuitcity.com/ssm/Samsung-61-...roductDetail.do 65" Mitsubishi DLP http://www.circuitcity.com/ssm/Mitsubishi-...roductDetail.do Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Big_Pete 0 Posted December 19, 2006 sorry, I didn't see this in time. All I can say is SAMSUNG >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Mitsubishi... I will never own a Mitsu TV in my life. After working at Soundtrack/Ultimate Electronics and seeing how many problems we had with the Mitsu's bulbs buring out, as well as the customers having the same issues, I vowed to never get a mitsubishi... Get the Samsung, and you'll have years of worry free watching! the salesman who tells you to get the mitsubishi only says it cause they get crazy good money for selling them (usually $100-200 spiffs) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Recliner Pilot 61 Posted December 19, 2006 Thanks Pete. The online reviews I read had the Samsung rated higher. Plus, I only give up 4" but save over $700. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bostonlager 2,469 Posted December 19, 2006 Depends on the size of the room you're putting it in. The way it sounds you're looking much bigger than what I went. I just recently purchased a Sony Grand Vega 55" LCD. 3 year warranty, TV, and stand was $2300 out the door and I am happy with the purchase. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Recliner Pilot 61 Posted December 19, 2006 My mom has one of those Sony's. Great picture. 61 isn't much bigger than 55, but It's going in a pretty good sized room. I went with the DLP cuz the picture was better when looking from the sides. You got a deal with the stand. Those things are expensive for what you get. We will have this one built in on a remodel.

If I were to get LCD projection, it would be Sony. If I were to get DLP, it would be Samsung If I were to get a flat panel LCD it would be Sony or Sharp If I were to get plasma, it would be Pioneer Elite or Panasonic Onyx If I were to get a front projector it would be Sony or Sharp Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
