need a new tv

[pumpkin]

It looks like our pioneer elite 64 inch tv is on the blink. Any good recommendations on a new tv, maybe 70 inch out there.Is plasma better than lcd. Pats golf is on the line, so any help would be blessed. Hay Chwee, what do you think.:cry:

Just a hint. I work in the service part of our store. I handle the warranty. It seems to me as if we do an awful lot of Samsung warranty service. They are very customer friendly & dealer friendly. Easy for me to work with. But we do, do alot of Samsung repair.
LG is a good set. We sell alot of LG. And the amount of warranty I submit to LG is quiet a bit smaller than Samsung. We have LG in our home. They are a dealer friendly company for me to submit warranty also.

I would strongly recomend that you go to and independent dealer like what we are. We do alot of repairs for the "big box" stores. And I have heard plenty of "big box" nightmares from consumers. The big box stores are not set up for quality service for consumers.

I have no clue about LCD or plasma for BIG screen. Only LCD we have is a Dell 1080P w/HDMI 22" LCD in the study for computer and HDTV use.

We watch all our TV, movies and video games on the projector; even in daylight. I've seen the 60"++ LCDs/Plasma @ Costco and personally don't like the space they take up.

that said, projectors are not for everyone. either u hate it or you can't live without it (we got used to having a 100" display). There's the pain of cabling it (we had all the HD cables installed before they dry-walled the place)....but there's wireless HDMI that's quickly dropping in price.

if you ever want to try out a projector, start cheap (posted in deal of the day):

after a while, you can go to: http://www.avsforum.com/

and then get addicted to the latest 1080p Sony projectors that cost more than a Prowler :eek::eek2:

bottom line, regardless of which ever display you get, you MUST tune the setup. you can spend $$$$ and get a crappy display without good calibration.

I have been looking also. the best one I could find was a Samsung 56'' 1080 HL56A650 Plasma for 1449.00 at Best Buy. this seems to be a good deal, but I just started looking. My old 52'' projection is still working fine, but old as the hills. I'm going to wait until the after Thaksgiving sales. I think this year might bring some good sales.

Agree we had a projector for a while and once you have it, it's kind of hard to go back, however always have a spare bulb in hand. Nothing more frustrating that sitting down to watch a movie or a football game and have the light flicker out.


After moving we ended up with a 50" that does the trick.
