Samsung HLN5065W 50-Inch Widescreen Projection HDTV with DLP Technology
Just about friggin' perfect!
For all of you out there doing your research on big screen tv's (and you really, really should), I searched for about 3 and a half months before I purchased.  I picked the brains of salepersons trainers, previous owners, and the internet.  To my discerning eye the DLP technology and the price put plasma tv's to shame.  I mean, it's just about friggin' perfect!  The just about part would have to deal with the 'regular tv' signal.  DVD's look crystal clear!  I can actually see the actors pores in their skin it's so clear.  I am awaiting a time when all regular tv channels are High Definition.  What I wouldn't give to see a football or basketball game in HD!  With this tv, monster cable is icing on the cake!  It's true, distance from the tv is key.  It looks really good in my recliner, but looks even better from the kitchen or down the hall.  Make sure your room is good size for the 50 inch.  If the 61 inch is on your mind, a huge room is what you need.  I purchased this tv at my local electronics store which truly gave me the best buy.  I also purchased Direct tv, monster cable, my wife's tv (ideal if you are really into sports - she gets hers, I get mine).  But I digress.  If I had the choice of a plasma, LCD, or DLP it would be DLP hands down.  Get the stand that goes with it and you don't have to worry about mounting anything.  It's only 85 pounds for goodness sake!  No 50 inch projection is going to weigh so little.  And if you are mounting a 50 plasma to the wall, are you sure that whoever puts it up there knows what they're doing?  Are you willing to put your $10 grand on it?  Stop reading reviews, get the DLP now.  I don't care where or how, just get the DLP.  Last words - 50 inch DLP and Bose surround sound is friggin' perfect.  We watch movies at my house!
