kacers Posted November 17, 2006 Posted November 17, 2006 I don't see many referencing this deal. What do you think? Good deal? Good tv? Connie
Maxspeed1997 Posted November 17, 2006 Posted November 17, 2006 The tv is a good one for the price. Built in HD-tuner and is slim for a projection tv. If I didn't have a 51" for the living room right now, I would pick this one up.
kacers Posted November 17, 2006 Author Posted November 17, 2006 Thanks for the reply. I keep trying to figure out what I'm missing about this deal. I think I'm going to try to get one. Connie
Feldman9000 Posted November 17, 2006 Posted November 17, 2006 It gets good reviews on circuit city's site. I'm gonna be all over this.
Mike Posted November 18, 2006 Posted November 18, 2006 OP, just so you know, that this is a projection. So in your mind you might be picturing a extremely slim LCD TV when in fact this is a projection TV. It is faily slim for a projection TV, just not a slim as a LCD TV would be.
kacers Posted November 18, 2006 Author Posted November 18, 2006 Any other downsides to a projection tv? Connie
Diesel0312 Posted November 18, 2006 Posted November 18, 2006 Any other downsides to a projection tv? ConnieMy projection is a CRT and not a LCD, so this might not apply, but at extreme angles it gets dark. I think this was more of a problem on the older projections, but the new ones still have it a bit.

I think this was more of a problem on the older projections, but the new ones still have it a bit.Sort of applicable to LCD projection. The image "dims" considerably as you get off-center-axis. Also, LCD projection offers really poor black level and contrast performance compared to other technologies. But they are also pretty darn cheap and offer fairly good performance in most other regards. So its just a matter of trade-off.
jdiddy Posted November 21, 2006 Posted November 21, 2006 Does anyone know if this will be available online on Friday? Or is this considrered a door buster deal that I need to line up for?
Mike Posted November 22, 2006 Posted November 22, 2006 It isn't a "doorbuster" but I don't know if it will be available online either.
Guest mommy2hayden Posted November 22, 2006 Posted November 22, 2006 I'm dying to get my hands on this. I really want to make sure it IS the one I want though. Are all LCDs that have depth on them, projection Tvs? The really skinny ones I know are not projection. Does anyone have this TV or one similiar? I'm seeing mixed reviews on this as far as the picture with HDTV vs. basic programming....This is a big investment. I don't want a bad picture...
