I went through the same thing as you back in the summer. I ended up buying a widescreen rear-projection DLP TV. Specifically I bought the Samsung HL-P5063W. I spent a lot of time comparing rear-projection LCD vs. DLP, and I found DLP to have a slightly better picture. But that's just my eye. I have loved my Samsung and I would buy another in a heartbeat. Rear-projection LCD and DLP don't have burn-in, which is a plus. They are small in weight (my 50" is only 72 pounds). The only downside I can see is that you have the replace the bulb every 3-4 years. The Zenith rear-projection LCD 44" is now under $2000 at most Best Buy stores, which is a good price.

I'm looking got buy a wide screen, HDTV. I'm leaning toward projection because of the aggresive price point.
I would like any input on which tv to get. Here are my wants and needs.
1. I would like a very good price for a very good set. It doesn't to be top of the line; however, I want the best for my money. So what wide-screen projection TV is the best value today? I do plan on subscribing to HDTV via Charter communications in my area.
I am most interested in
- Picture quality
- longevity/life of tv
- Value on the dollar
I'm not totally bent on the bells and whistles such as;
- PIP
- tons of inputs
- style or status
Obviously, the bigger the screen the better, but I would be satisfied with at least 44".
So, I would look forward to your opinions getting into this, I'd like to get something the week of Christmas..
Thanks in advance,
AJ
