Are Rear Projection TVs good for playing PS3 or should i stick to LCD or Plasma.
Rear Projection TV
This topic is locked from further discussion.
I've been playing on a rear projection but I warn you, while the picture looks amazing, it sucks in sun light. Mine is in the living room and when it's bright out, I just won't play it. If I'm really hard up for a game I'll throw a blanket over the windows. HAHA It's ugly, but it works.Are Rear Projection TVs good for playing PS3 or should i stick to LCD or Plasma.
jackellis1
are they much better for the extra price?jackellis1Picture quality is 10x more important than the difference between 1080p and 720p, and 720p plasmas are cheap as **** now.
Rear projection's are the way to go. With most plasma or LCD screens, you have to break in the screen before you can play video games on them, typically 100 hours of use prior to gaming, due to the fast refresh rates (around 30 fps vs. 60 fps). Also, they are cheaper, not too much thicker, and are just a great buy. I have two Sony SXRD 60" TV's in my home, and they are very high quality and come with loads of features. So personally, I would go with rear projection.RingosLastFight
Â
I totally agree with you. I don't own the SXRD but I do have a HD-ILA rear projection and the PQ is the doo doo! The problem I have with IGN's article about the rear projections were their cons and I don't have any of the issues due to the fact that my TV has 3 chips in it so there's no sweet spot that they spoke of or the rainbow effect, etc. Plus it's the 5th or 6th generation of its kind and it only weighs 60lbs. so the cons are a moot point in my book. The only gripe I have with my TV has to do with the remote and that's because I have to cycle through the video input channels one by one but I'm beginning to be unfazed by it now. Â
If you search back a page or two for a thread called 'recommend me a tv' or something, you can see my calibration results for the newest Sammy LCD LN-T-4666F. Best LCD out there right now.BroweChisoxUMM...wat the heck is a Sammy LCD LN-T-4666F?? link?? are u talking about samsung?
[QUOTE="mjarantilla"][QUOTE="jackellis1"]There is a sony LCD I might get when the price goes down a bit, so i think ill stay safe and get that.
Thanks AnywayBroweChisox
Get a plasma.
Every Sony LCD out right now has clouding issues. They are not worth buying until this is fixed... that is why the prices are dropping so quickly. The new Sony sets should be out within a month or two.
Â
Well there is no clouding on my Sony. I think its the X-series that have problems with clouding.Â
PLEASE ignore anyone saying to get a rear projection TV. Infact, ignore any TV you see that has "projection" in the description. These TVs worse quality than non projection by far, and though they may be cheaper, you get what you pay for.
Also, ignore anyone who recommends plasma. There is a reason major electronics companies are no longer supporting plasma televisions and making LCDs. Sure they're "technically" brighter, but have fun with a dead lamp in 5 years when you use it as consistantly as most gamers.Â

THANK YOU.... After reading all the above posts I was gonna kill myself... The public is so missinformed about these technologies. Nobody hear knows what they are talking about. Mind you Im not saying I do. But RearProjection Tvs are deffinetly not the way to go, and someone said Plasmas are the best but most expensive.... WRONG!!!!! DLP or any other Projection has SERIOUS logevity and upkeep issues, along with awfull viewing angles, poor refresh rates, and things like screen door effects... Plasmas are bigger and CHEAPER than LCD's but lack the fire Power. I challenge you to find a reasonably priced 1080p Plasma. LCD (imo) is the way to go. If you want anything less than 46inches, then get a LCD.. Also, the newest and just released LCD;s have the same contrast ratios as plasmas... FYI... The thing that makes these technologies better than the other is dependant on the situation.. If you only have a thousand or so buck and want something bigger than 50inches well than go with DLP. If you want a TV that you can mount on your wall and you want a big one for not much money, get a plasma.. If you have some money and wnat the best PQ and Price get LCD..

OK let me explain the strengths and weaknesses of each tv set.
Projection- they come in crt, dlp, lcd projection, and lcos... with projection you get the most inches per price that you pay, dlp is the most popular format in todays market, i personally prefer lcos which has the lowest chance in my opinion of burn in, you have to replace a lamp in projection tvs about every 2000 hours and lcd projection at this time is only capable of 720p
LCD Flat Panel- it will be the highest price per inch but has the least chance of burn-in and is wall mountable as is plasma, it will have lower contrast though and wont achieve the blacks of projection, it also has a chance of losing pixels and the brightness will fade over time
Plasma- It is a popular format due to the fact that it is wall mountable and cheaper than lcd on the price per inch almost as cheap as projection, the problem with plasma is it is not recommended for gaming because of hot spots and burns in easily

Sharp Aqous Regarding RPTVs: a) DLP and other projection technologies are better in black level and color reproduction than any LCD. b) Screen door effects no longer exist with the newest projection TVs c) Viewing angle is still a problem, THIS I agree with, but often enough the TVs are big enough that it doesn't bloody matter. d) NO other TV technology except CRT has faster refresh rates than DLP. The fact that you think otherwise proves you know nothing. e) Lamps are becoming more durable, and future DLPs will rely on LED lamps that last for hundreds of thousands of hours. Regarding plasmas: a) Plasmas have superior picture and color reproduction than LCDs, which FAR, FAR outweighs 1080p. b) 1080p plasmas are priced similarly to 1080p LCDs. Perhaps a little more expensive, but not exorbitantly so. Regarding LCDs: a) LCDs CAN NEVER HAVE the same contrast ratios as plasmas. You're thinking of DYNAMIC contrast ratio, which was so distracting on my LCD TV that I turned it off. b) If you want anything less than 37 inches, get an LCD. Otherwise, get a plasma, because above 37 inches, plasmas are far better. LCDs have the WORST picture quality. What you gain in resolution, you LOSE in color and picture reproduction, in refresh rate, in viewing angle (compared to plasma), etc., and that isn't worth the trade off.

Plasmas do not have lamps but instead a gas and will go out in about 10 yrs, also you are thinking of the older crt projection tvs, they are virtually none existent these days projection tvs such as dlp are capable of 1080p and they have lamps you must replace about every 1.5 to 2yrsPLEASE ignore anyone saying to get a rear projection TV.

Companies are pulling back on plasma because of internal reasons, not because LCDs are better. LCDs are easier to manufacture at high resolutions, and that magic "1080p" makes for a much better and more quantifiable bullet point than plasma's superior picture quality, thus making it easier to charge higher prices, even though picture accuracy is FAR more important. And LCDs are the ones that have dead lamps, not plasmas. And AFAIK, only a few manufacturers make their TVs' LED backlights replaceable.PLEASE ignore anyone saying to get a rear projection TV.

Color, brightness/darkness, refresh rate, etc. are all best on a CRT. And, of course, they are the cheapest HDTVs available. BUT, because they are so goddang big and heavy, they are impractical for most situations. Of all the big screen technologies, plasma comes closest to CRT's picture quality.
