Looking for 50" TV in $2k-$3k range
 

Looking for advice on the above. Man, the choices right now are too
numerous to mention. In this price range, it appears to be either LCD
projection or DLP, although if I sprung for some more change, Sony XBDR (or
whatever it's called) sounds tempting. I've read a ton about the pros/cons
of each technology, and in this price range DLP usually seems to get the
nod, but a lot of info doesn't have the latest sets or comprehensive reviews
of competing models.

This set is for a fairly large room, set-up for Directv HD and dvd movies,
with a very nice sound system. Glare is a big concern since the sun comes
in directly onto the tv through the windows in the morning. Reliability is
key, since my better half likes these toys to last a long time, but we don't
overuse it by any means.

I noticed in a few posts below people recommending the Sony LCD in this
price range, which I thought was interesting. I usually am impressed with
the picture quality of Sony, but I had thought LCD had some real drawbacks.

So, any advice from the experts here? Either on your recommendation for a
model or a source to see fairly comprehensive reviews of current models?

Thanks all,

Dark Helmet

have you looked at the JVC HDILA sets? I could not live without mine.

Why what would happen? Does it have an oxygen supply?
