Big Screen Suggestion?
Looking for a 53-61 inch new projection tv. Should I care about HDTV. Looks like that entire concept is a bust that may never happen on a wide scale. Appreciate any suggestions on brand/model and good prices.
Thanks

Tonight while playing in BestBuy, I saw Sony's new widescreen rear projection 57" HDTV ready set. It was gorgeous. The BestBuy lackeys had to get out the screen cleaner to get my drool off the set.
Give it a look.

Any idea how much they wanted for that set? I am amazed how Best Buy has their sets all calibrated wrong, colors way off etc on the projection tvs. Selling the expensive stuff requires a better presention.

And YES, the future is High Def and if you are buying you should go 16x9 and not the old 4x3 standard unless you plan on keeping the TV for only a couple years and watch almost all 4x3 material and little DVD or HD content! To put out all the money for a nice HDTV and be forced to have a letterboxed image when watching High Def is rediculous to say the least! 16x9 aspect ratio and higher is the future for all TV and to buy 4x3 for the future will only leave you kicking yourself!

If you aren't looking to go Widescreen I reccommend this
