I want to purchase a wide screen television for the home theater I am building in my basement. I have about $3500 to spend and am trying to decide which model I should purchase. It needs to be about 50" to fit the cabinet I am building for it. I have considered the Samsung DLP but cannot make up my mind. I am not a videophile nor do I hold particularly discriminating tastes. I am simply looking for a quality product with a good picture. Any suggestions?Also, I have an older Samsung DVD-player that will probably need replacing in the near future. What kind of a player will be necessary to provide a good enough signal to take advantage of a $2000 - $4000 range television?
Any responses would be greatly appreciated

So far, my experience with the Samsung 50 inch DLP HLN5065W has been most positive. Had better features than similarly priced Sony's (IMO), and great vid quality. Haven't seen it in High Def yet though.
There's a new SONY HD RPTV that just got a rave review in The Perfect Vision, head and shoulders above all the competition. It's the KP-57WS510.
What do you think about the kf50we610 Grand Wega? If I was going to go with a Sony that would probably closer to what I had in mind. I haven't heard much about the kp57ws510, but will look into it. Thanks for your input.
I am not familiar with the set you mention nor to be truthful have I SEEN the one I mentioned. It's just that I have never seen such a rave review for any product in TPV. IMHO TPV is the best of the video magazines. I think the only way to compare is to see both side by side at a Sony dealer.Whatevr you do purchase, make sure to have the set calibrated right away by an ISF technician, both for optimal picture and for long life.
what is ISF?
Video professionals who calibrate your set to optimum capability. Believe it or not, most TVs do not arrive from the factory at optimal, or even *safe*, settings for best picture quality and long life.Do it - ona big rear projection set the difference can be significant.
