Yes, he was talking about projection CRT's as well

 

well this is pretty much a retarded argument since no consumer tv utilizes any technology to its fullest

In terms of current offerings, plasma's will give you the best picture. I dare you to compare a sony XBR CRT, or *gasp* any CRT RPTV, to a pioneer elite or fujitsu aviamo plasma.. of course you could buy your entire neighborhood a sony CRT before you would reach the equivalent cost.

Now, if you want to venture into the world of ultra high end gear, you can get yourself a projector with 4x the resolution of any content you can throw at it.. better fork out for some imax movies

 

No sales tax with the DLP either. Shipping cost remains. I don't need the best picture in the world, I just want a bigger TV.

e.g. Some guy wants a roadster. He has enough money for a Miata, but everyone keeps telling him that he should buy an S2000 instead because it is faster and looks better. He replies by stating that he only cares about the roadster part (read: bigger TV) and not the performance or looks (read: PQ and resolution). Is this man still making a horrible decision by buying an "inferior" roadster?


disclaimer: I am not suggesting that the Miata is inferior to the S2000, I just needed an example that some car guys would understand.

 

 

btw, your example is retarded.

DLP and Plasma are different TECHNOLOGIES....a miata and S2000 aren't diff. technologies.....they're just different cars.

 

You guys keep telling me one is better than the other...If I can't use my analogy, then you can't say one is better or worse. Start saying that they're different technologies.


THEY'RE JUST DIFFERENT TVs

My analogy was to illustrate that I can give a rat's a$$ what the technology is, or which is superior. All I care about is that the TV is bigger than what I currently have.

 

I say save some cash and buy a DLP. You will be very happy.

 

oh.

isn't it obvious?

 

It is obvious that they use different technologies, BUT, They're still just different TVs. Big TVs that are being compared with one another regardless of whether you think they should be or not. I choose to use a blade to shave, you may choose an electric razor. Does this mean that we can't compare them? They do the same thing; they make the hair on my face go away until the next day.

You say "Plasma is better, don't buy DLP" I'm not arguing against the "better" part mind you.

I use as an example "S2000 is better, don't buy Miata" (again, I love Miatas) and I get the technology defense.

...so how about this one...

"F1 paddle shifters are better, don't buy the six speed" Some buy six speed solely based on the the extra money for this DIFFERENT TECHNOLOGY. It's still going to be a Ferrari or Maserati whichever they choose. By Ferrari or Maserati, I mean BIG TV

If it's all the same TO ME, then can I pretty please get a DLP?

 

no....trust us.

and if you're set on getting a DLP, then why ask in the first place????????????
