Planning to buy my first non CRT big screen soon. Viewing distance is ten-eleven feet so I was thinking about a 50". I was hopeing to buy a 1080p so that the component(technology) would be valid for more than a few years. I have a son in college and another on the way so money is an object. Can I settle for a DLP? Will I only get 5,000 hours from the tube? Which brand is most reliable? Have been looking at the Sony SXRD(is that correct?) and could afford that. Should I hold out and save for an LCD? 50" is not a common size for LCDs and they are spendy. Thanks in advance for any and all comments. Tom in Oregon BTW George Bush is an idiot and I voted for him. sorry.......

That you can afford. I'm not a fan of DLP, but others are. I prefer Sony's SXRD. Both have bulbs, that will eventually have to be repplaced.

Eventually I will need to suck it up and just pull the trigger. Have been reading here in archives and grateful for this resource- Tom
The best thing to do, is to go out and look at what's out there. Try to see the sets in different places, and hopefully with lighting that is similar to how you will be watching at home. None will be calibrated correctly, so feel free to fiddle with adjustments and setting for the picture. If possible, watch something you are familiar with.
