I'll probably play on both the 55 inch Mits RPTV in the living room and the Samsung 26 inch LCD in the bedroom.

I think I have finally decided to get the 50 inch Sony 3lcd HDTV, cant wait to get the 360 and play some HD games.

for now I'll be playing in on my Toshiba Cinema Series 57HX93 but I'm currently looking for a tv upgrade. I'm thinking the new Toshiba Cinema Series 62MX195 1080p DLP set.

So, what do all you people do with your OLD TV sets (the people that are upgrading). I have a 55" Mits (as stated) and I want to upgrade, but I think I would lose too much trying to sell it. And, it really wouldn't be that possible to have TWO big-ass TV's in my house right now.

convince a friend to buy it!

I have a 55" Mits. as well - but I'll probably play on my 20" 4:3 TV, because I'm just too worried about burn-in on my big TV. If I was looking to get a new set in a few years, I might not be so worried...but I'd like to keep this one for a while.

I am upgrading from a old 32 inch non HD tube and I am giving it to my friend who is using his SUV to help me pick up my TV.

JVC 61" D-ILA 3-chip with support for 720P. In fact, the native resolution is 720.

Maybe this may help others on the fence regarding LCoS technology:

The picture quality has been superb for video games. The Xbox games programmed for high-def (i.e. MVP Baseball '05, MX vs. ATV Unleashed) look amazingly sharp compared to your standard 480P games. They actually look like computer games. Edges are sharper and the picture is bright. No ghosting of images and no screen-door effect at 9' away -- I know, I'm a little close for the ideal sitting distance for a screen of this size, but the unit is that good. Games just look amazing.
I can't wait to see an appropriate gaming console put this thing to work (360, PS3).

I will say, I've gone on for upto 6 hours straight on the same game (Halo 2) without issues with burn-in...one of the benefits with liquid crystal on silicon (LCoS).

I haven't had any experience with Sony's offering or Philips Cineos, but they are certainly worth a look.

Hope this helps.

By the way, didn't see the correct item on the ballot, so I couldn't vote. :(

I couldn't disagree more vehemently.

The ONLY thing that matters is the gameplay. If it's not fun to play, it doesn't matter how good the graphics are, or whether I'm playing it on an HDTV or a standard one.

I've never understood why so many people are so focused on graphics and resolution.

Then again, I guess I'm just the "oddball" in this case and that's why I spend a lot of time on GBA and DS games while my GC, PS2 and X-box gather dust. :D

Personally I would rather have advanced 4x-8x AA over HD rez. I hate the general lack of effective AA in 3D games on the current consoles.

Well i did say "HD gaming" meaning that the 'experience' of immersive gameplay is what blows your socks off. Id love to play a good KOTOR type game on my 60" screen with HD capability. The story and elements that make it a great game are there no matter what TV you're on but the HD factor is what puts you IN the game so much more.

HD crap is still crap, if you dont like the games HD wont make it better but if you like the game you'll really wish you had it on HD to get that much more out of it.

I don't mean to go off topic, but has anyone with an RPTV on this forum actually experienced a problem with burn-in? I play games on my Mits 55 inch RPTV all the time and have never had a problem. I don't know how many hours I have logged in total, but I am darn near close to a week of use just on Halo 2 online. For me, the risk of burn-in on the tv just isn't worth missing the chance to experience big-screen gaming.

Like I said, I'm just an oddball here compared to most gamers today. I don't like realistic games, and graphics thus don't really help me get into a game. It's just the gameplay that either grabs me or not.

I get into games on the GBA and DS much more than games on my GC, PS2 and X-box for the most part as I enjoy the gamplay in more innovative games and in classic style 2d games much more than most of the types of 3d games on the consoles today.

I don't mean to go off topic, but I just came from Bestbuy I saw that they have placed the Westinghouse 32" Widescreen LCD HDTV on sale for $999.99.
The display on this thing matches any of the name brand models.

I'll be playing on my 107" Panny LCD ae700u HD projector. This will be the first actual HD I've ever seen on this projector since I don't have any HD channels. I'm pretty excited. :)
