TV's... what does the typical audiophile have?

25 year old Quasar, still going strong.

Regards,

No TV, but a front projector. Got an Optoma H30 DLP front projector about two months ago. I sold my TV back in January to buy a pair of speakers. I don't miss it one bit. (obligatory Onion link ) I fire up the PJ once or twice a week to watch a DVD or laserdisc.

Jax2 comment above about having to have a light-controlled (darkened), nearly dedicated room for front projection is sort of enlightening. I imagine we see a similar comment regarding high end stereos from the unwashed. "But it needs a dedicated room." "You need to set the room up around the speakers." "Need need to sit in the sweet spot." Etc. Same thing with video and film. Both regardless of technology look best in a light-controlled room. But some people refuse to make that tradeoff. But that's OK. That's their particular set of criteria. nothing is wrong with that. Just an observation.

i have a 52 inch hitachi that never gets watched,my family watches very little tv & i never watch tv, once in a blue moon ill watch the history channel but other than that tv sucks, i prefer to read or listen to my system.

Have a Sony 27" XBR in the bedroom. Moving to a 42" HD plasma this Fall. Very BR friendly.....

Toshiba 27AF41 on a Tech-Craft stand made for a Sony 32in TV. Perfect fit, form, and funtion.
