New TV??
We’re in the “consideration” stage of a new TV set. We’re watching the prices and waiting for some kind of decent sale. Problem: I really don’t know enough about the new sets to make a good decision. I’m currently leaning toward a Samsung HL-S 5086 50″ DLP set,, priced at $1159 at Amazon.com. It’s a 50 inch DLP machine, with the 1280×720 resolution. HELP! A search for “Samsung HL-S5086W 50″ DLP HDTV “ at Amazon.com will get you all the details.
We don’t get HDTV over the air broadcast, and our Satelitte signal isn’t in HDTV either. So most of the high def. viewing would be DVD’s. I’d also like to be able to dump my computer screen to the big screen, so I could use it to watch some of the Internet broadcasts. This Samsung, does have the “PC: 1 D-Sub-15 input” so I’m guessing it would work.
Your input will be greatly appreciated.

Not a bad price. DLP is one of the better technologies out there, but I have been hearing rumblings of bulb life issues. Not that it solves the problem, but if it were up to me, I’d buy a DLP projector before I bought a DLP TV… Not always a doable configuration for some living spaces, but man, the newer projectors with high contrast and short throw ranges are SWEEEET.

I thought about and measured the room for a projector, but it just wouldn’t work with our room configuration.
