I bought a new HD tv this last weekend. The model I bought an LG 32″ Flat-Panel LCD (32LC2D) for $999.?
Now here is my question and my delima. Now the same store has a Samsung 42″ DLP HDTV ( HL-S4266W) on sale for the same exact price. I love the picture on the tv I have now. The reason I went with that size is because of the price. Now im able to get 10 more inches. Im just worried that I am gonna fall into- “you get what you pay for”. Im told both brands are good at making TV’s. If they both are good, why would one be 10 inches bigger and the same price. I am hoping that the bigger one will have just as amazing as the one I have now. If so, I will take mine back and upgrade. Only problem is, they dont have the bigger TV in stock so I cant see it till I buy it and it comes in. Please give any advice you may have if you have either one of these TV’s or have experience with DLP’s. Thanks for any help!!! P.S- Both TV’s and specs can be found at Bestbuy.com
DLP uses rear projection much like a projection system that would be mounted on a ceiling. They are significantly deeper and not as bright as LCD’s. If your room is bright I suggest keeping the LCD. Best viewing distance on the LCD is going to be between 4 and 8 feet. With the 42″ your best viewing distance is going to be between 5.5 and 10.5. I hope this helps as I didn’t want to overwhelm you.
