vizio 40 inch lcd
Help comparing HDTV brands, and which would be the better buy?
I would like help comparing HDTV brands. Please help me with these topics:
- Plasma, LCD, or DLP (what are they and which is better)
- Brands (which brand is better, also what is VIZIO)
- Best choice, looking at a TV around 40 inches and up
- Price comparison
Thank You
LCD stands for Liquid Crystal Display.
DLP stands for Digital Light Picture.
DLP is one of a few different types of rear-projection TV's. These are the TV's that are flat-screen but NOT flat-panel meaning you can't mount them on a wall (cause they have a tush so to speak).
I have the Sony KDS-60A3000. Its Sony's rear-projection HDTV. It uses SXRD which is a variation of LCOS (Liquid Crystal On Silicon).
Now to what you really want to know. The picture quality on my TV is amazing. Also the price ($1,700) for a 60" TV was fantastic. BUT as I mentioned before its NOT mountable. I have to put it on a table--I cannot mount it on the wall.
So heres your answer: This Sony projection HDTV looks as good if not better than many LCD or plasma TV's. If you go with Sony you're virtually guaranteed a high level of quality. If you care about money go with projection HDTV's--you'll save a lot. If you care about mountability go with LCD or plasma--you'll save a lot of space in your house.
Oh and Vizio is just the name of a brand like Sony or Panasonic. Hope I helped!
