New Giant Television


I am moving to a new house that has a basement where I intend on setting up my main system. The room is great, about 7' high and the walls about 18' x 23'. I'm all set on the audio setup, not much different from current (with the exeception of lots of room treatments since I will finally have a dedicated room), but with a dedicated room I will have a different video set up.

I want to be able to have ambient light in the room, so I don't want a projector. I don't believe that 3D is the next big thing, don't care about it at all. I don't care if it's plasma, LED, LCD, rear projection, whatever...

I want a giant TV with a great picture, without 3D, I don't care about it's proportions. I've seen Mitsubishi has up to 84" LCD projections screens, the bigger the better.

What suggestions?

In that size room you could install at least a 120 inch drop down screen - that would be my recommendation - but you already know that you don't want a projector.
Still looking more for suggestions on a 70" or largers TV, has anyone seen the huge Mitsubishi rear projection sets?

I've seen, and set up many a projector, never seen one for less than about $10K, that could compete with a TV as far as picture with a lot of ambiant light in the room.

I would like to spend under $4k. For more, I would just rather improve my stereo. Come to think about it, I would really rather spend less than $2k, and spend the other $2k on upgrading my power amps.
I also wanted a front projector, but decided I had too much ambient light. I went for size, too, and got the Mitsu 73" DLP. It has a great picture and gives you the most bang for the buck in size.

I bought it online from Homegoodz. No problem transaction. I ordered it from "Adam." He was very helpful. It's selling right now for $1637, delivered. The 82" is $2627, delivered. The packing was great. Delivery was scheduled and on time.

I've had it for just over a year with no problems. It is 18" deep at it's thickest point. The thin advantage of flat panels was not an issue for me. You just can't beat the size, especially at the price.
Now Mac, you know good and well that "bigger is better" is just a Texas state of mind !!!!!! :)
Sharp has just come out with a 70" LED model. I own a 60" Sharp and am very happy with it. Might be worth checking out.
