LED Projection TV Must Die!

[techigirl78]

I can't deal with it anymore. My projection TV bites. I was waiting for the light bulb to go out as a reason to replace. Then, today I found myself turning on and off the TV to try to blow the bulb. LOL

I haven't looked into any new TVs in awhile. I'm somewhat satisfied with my older 46" plasma, but have been a little unhappy with the blacks. The hitachi projection tv needs to go!

I need approximately 50-55" flat screen that does excellent at blacks and action. I love sports, video games, and horror/sci fi movies, so a TV that does best for these situations will be what I need. I can spend 1000-2500. If it has 3D, that would be a plus. Sound quality doesn't need to be good since I have a audio system.

Any suggestions?

You don't need an excuse, just go get one. The fact that the one that you have is not dead at least means you might get a few bucks for it on the used market.

I think you mean a bulb based LCD projection set, not LED based right? LED based would likely last a lot longer than a bulb based projection system.

If inky blacks are a must, then you'll be looking at plasma.

Yup, lcd. I will just give it to my friend when i get a new one.

Most people hope their bulb WON'T go out, and you are trying to kill yours LOL.

You could probably sell the bulb alone for more than the TV because someone out there needs that exact bulb and they aren't cheap

Well, I just bought speakers for my bedroom and now I want a new TV. Bulb goes out, no need to explain to bf why because a want turns into a need. The bulb is pretty old, so i wouldnt want to sell it knowing it is close to blowing.

It sure would be tragic if you accidentally spilled a drink on the bulb while you were inspecting it.

Just sayin'.



Btw, if I were in the market, I'd be looking at the new Panasonic plasmas. The ST50 seems really popular, but I might gravitate to the GT50 if only because I think it would be better. I found this thread to be informative.

Just touch it with greasey fingers, it'll get a hot spot and shorten it's lifespan.

Sell it. Use the money towards new TV.
