What should I buy ?plasma vs. projector ?

Posted by Dholai (A) on March 23, 2004 at 16:07:53

Friends,

A few days ago I bought my first Plasma TV, a Sony 42 inch XBR, for my living room. Running it with a PS audio power plant 600 with a regular DVD player in 480p mode, I was impressed with the quality.

I have a 65 inch rear projection TV in my home theater system(a SONY XBR also) which was excellent so far but all of a sudden seems to be rather mediocre compared to the plasma. Now I have an itch.. should I replace it with a plasma ?

I did some searching. No plasma in 65 inch range and NEC has one 84 inch (!)
Now, is it a good idea to buy a big plasma or I would rather go for a front projection system ? I dont want to spend more tham 12-15 K for the whole thing and I will have to buy another PS audio Power Plant as the improvement is great in picture quality !

Please advise.

Thanks in advance.

BTW, anybody owning that monster 84 inch NEC plasma ? How good is it ?
