The Plasma & LCD TV Thread: Post Pics of Yours? Ask Questions?

[uofmtiger]

Here is a pic of my living room setup:



I moved my 61inch 720P DLP to the bedroom and moved the Westinghouse 1080p 42 inch monitor (that was in my bedroom) to my office. I still need to get pics of those rooms...

uofmtiger, I am jealous of that setup. Very much. Not to mention a 61" in the bedroom!

Also, thanks for the info about 120 Hz. So, the conversion from 24fps to 60/30 occurs in the actual TV or the source?

I do not believe Sony ever made a DLP tv. They were big with rear projection, then 2 chip LCD micro displays, then their version of LCoS (SXRD).

Uofmtiger, did you take that pic? Looking at the borders, that image with the cute tigers on the screen seems photoshopped and pasted on top of the original photo.

It is...it is a shot with the lights on and off and the dark shot (of the screen) is photoshopped onto the light shot. Just too lazy to work at getting it purrfect. I should have taken the shot with the TV off creating a better black background of which to put the cats on....Anyway, it is the TV with my stuff under it and next to it with the TV on...you can see all of it better this way.

(The cats shot was taken from the Planet Earth Blu-ray series while it was pawsed/paused).

Here was the old setup (This TV is now in my bedroom - waiting on speaker stands before I take new pics):

If you are referring to my post, the Sony in the living room is a Sony Bravia SXRD KDS-60A3000 60″ 1080p Rear Projection HDTV. The DLP in my bedroom is a Samsung (see post above this one for a pic).

Ah ok I see. So even though it is photoshopped, the pasted pic comes from the display on which it was pasted, which is fair enough. Looks great!

PS. What you did is an approximation of the so called High Dynamic Range Imaging.

if i wanted a good lcd/plasma tv for around ~$1,500... what would be a good buy? looking to play the occasional HD tv channels and dvd movies.

I personally don't like LCDs, if it was plasma, I'd choose either Panasonic or Pioneer. Can't go wrong with either one.

Which Plasma or LCD model has the best standard definition picture?

All the show room display models and discussion here so far is centered around how good a HD signal picture looks which is fine, but the majority of programing in USA cable TV is still SD so this is still very important......did you ask salesman to show you a SD signal before buying your current HD set?

My fear is that I will spend big bucks on new HD set and then discover the SD picture is actually worse than my current set which does a great job on SD programs
