60+ in LCD TVs

[Zvi]

Hi All,

I'm thinking of upgrading from my 67" Sammy DLP. I figured LCD would be a worthy upgrade, except so far I only found 65" Sharp aquos, around 5.5K, which I liked and Sony which is around 20K, clearly out of my budget.

Any other options I should consider, look into?

And is plasma worth researching?

MY PICK

Pioneer PRO 151FD - 60" Elite KURO plasma 6k shipped on Amazon
or
Pioneer PDP-6020FD 60-Inch Class KURO Plasma HDTV 3.8k shipped on Amazon

If you want bigger

Pan th65pz850u for 5k on Amazon

At that size I would go Plasma, unless the room you watch in is bright. But even then at that size plasma. It would save you a pretty penny also.

Have you considered the Mitsubishi 65" Laservue TV? I think I read somewhere it has better picture than the Kuro Elite !

I've seen a Laservue, the picture is great...it still doesn't look better than a Kuro. Not to mention it has a 7,000 dollar price tag. Hell if you look around enough you'll find a 60" Kuro for less than 5 grand.

As a KURO owner, that certainly makes me feel better. But have a look here:

"HD Guru says that the LaserVue set popped colors that were "the most vivid of any display device I had ever seen" besting a Pioneer Kuro and Sharp LCD in a side-by-side, while consuming only half the power of an LCD set."



You be the judge.
