RE: Rear projection tvs - any good?

KaTz the 36" i was considering was the Tosh 36ZD26. But am thinking of going the RP route from people i`ve spoken to. People reckon minimum distance should be 9 foot as size can give you a headache. But its individual preference. :D

I have heard that Sony are replacing the current 44" RP with a digital version and so stocks are running low. EmpireDirect no longer have it on the web. I`m not looking to buy for another month so hope i can still get one!! :(

Na but that is just too simple an answer for sky!!

I don`t see what benefit the logo has for sky?! We know what channel it is as we selected it in the first place! >:(

I know where you are coming from. I have a 28" CRT but want a bigger set. I was thinking about a 36" but the cost compared to a RP Tv isn`t worth the extra cost in my book.

Cheers ;)

I have been told the problem is caused by the channel logos on sky as they do not move. To help avoid this they reckon you should choose a different ratio and so move the logo off the screen. This may make you lose some of the picture but at least it saves your set.

RE: Rear projection tvs - any good?

Thanks for that.

Since reading your reply I managed to speak to someone at Sony and they reckon screen burn used to be a problem, more so on plasma screens, but they reckon they have over come it now.......probably sales speak, but something to think about.

Rear projection tvs - any good?

I am thinking of buy a rear projection tv. Either the SAMSUNG SP42W5HFX or SONY
KP44PX2U. I want a big picture but can`t afford a plasma.

Are they any good? :/

At the moment i watch all my DVDs via a IXOS Gold S-VHS connection lead. If i use the same lead on a RP tv will the picture still be as good?
