CF: We will have our fannies parked directly in front of the big screen, similar to what we have now in our Mtn house. Thus, "side/angle" viewing is not an issue.
I actually could make do with a 50 or 57" screen, easily, (we have 4 yr old 57" Toshiba Rear Proj, widescreen now, and it's fine). But, TheCEO, whom is Not one to toss money, saw the Sony Wega/XBR something LCD screen at a CCity in Naples while we were buying a cheap 20" tube for the FL House spare bedroom...she loved it. I have no idea if that is the new LCoS stuff or reg LCD or...
So, my point is, she is looking to "fill the wall" in that room in our FLA joint and thus, a 60 or 70" thing is what she wants me to get in early Dec when we get there. Again, I love watching stuff, but the nuances from "type to type" of TV are very subtle, imo, and very subjective. I'm not running a test, I'm watching the weather, movies, HBO, some football, etc. ...Casual but, interested viewing is what I think it's called,
But, this thread is Very Informative and I like how the fooking prices are dropping like a rock.
As for "life of lights", etc., this is gonna be a TV we use 1000 hrs a "season" there in our FL joint, so "life" of the light source is no big deal to me.
I'll keeping reading here...I appreciate the good info and opins and options tossed out.
Thanks & BR, The Ol'Viewer
