Since TV was my major in college, I'll just say go with LCD and stay away from Plasma....or go DLP if you can. Just my $0.02 based off what the teachers/pros told us during classes, and what I remember when I was paying attention :lol:

DLP = colour wheels = weird colour separation in images if the wheel isn't moving fast enough and you're whipping your head around during a movie / tv show / pr0n.

Go LCD. :)

I got a Epson EX70 Projector for my HT. No screen yet but even on a plain wall it gives 100" of HD (1080i) for under $600 you can't really go wrong.

If you go LCD projector also note that 2000Lumens LCD ~ 2500Lumens DLP.

To those with HDTV's regardless if its a LCD, LED or Plasma, what HD Source are you feeding into your new TV's?

I hope not Analogue cable? lol My neighbour thinks his programs are in high definition but hes putting regular Analogue cable right into the tv, not even a set top box, lol.

Not saying that DLP doesn't suffer from those issues but it depends on how the set was designed too. My Sony DLP uses a single colour wheel, never an issue with colours being wonky once I calibrated the set properly.

When I bought it at the time (2003) there were still major issues of burn in with te other technologies available at the time and the set has served me faithfully so I can't complain (Hell, I'm still on the original bulb that the set came with)

As for high def sources:

Rogers HDTV (Including such thrilling content as the Fireplace Channel... in HD <_< over HDMI

Sony PS3 over HDMI

All of that feeding into the set from a Denon 3808CI AVR

lol @ fireplace channel. Don't they show that every year arround this time? I was in ottawa recently in my hotel we had bell satelight dish, with an hdtv, bell was claiming they have 100 hd chanels, but I found most of the hd channels were repeats of the same channel in 2 locations on the EPG. I dont really have rogers HD just yet, how good is the hd? bells was720p.

Nope, this is brand new (and runs year round in the US, believe it or not)

Unlike Bell, if the channel broadcasts in 1080i/p, Rogers will show 1080i (They can't show 1080p, not enough bandwidth) but on some channels you can tell they compressed the hell out of it :rolleyes: )
