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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
