Which tv is for me??

Feb 13, 2005 5:02AM PST

i am debating b/w these two tv's. I am going to watching normal tv, dvd's, and hooking my computer to it. Which one would be better out of these two tv's??
also, i will be using dish network, so the build in cable card and hd tuner doensn't really matter.
sony 60xs955 lcd
or
toshiba 62hm84 dlp

thanks

what features are you looking for on a TV? If you want alot of features go with the sony, if you want the better picture go with the toshiba

im looking for a better picture for the things i said im gonna be using it for and i want a reliable tv. I actually have the sony right now and i had to exchange it 2 times cause the power supply failed both times. THis is within one month. This is why i am thinking about getting the toshiba but i read somewhere that you can't connect the computer to the toshiba or that you shouldn't do it. ??

yea, thats whay i originally thought, but i actually like the tv other than the fact that i broke twice already. This is why i want to know which of the two has a better picture quality overall. In regular tv, dvd's and when i use the tv as a comp monitor. As of right now i don't have hd so im running on analog dish network and the quality is not that great. so i can't really see how good it looks. I like how dvd's look and i havn't yet hooked up my comp to the tv. any input on the toshiba or the sony other than my experience??

thanks

FYI, I have a 12 year old 32" Toshiba and it's working great. John
