Want LCD TV for under 2000.00

[callas01]

in your case, i would also suggest the Samsung 52A650, great tv.

That's definitely the one I'm getting. That or the 750. It's only 100 more, and still free shipping.

I know, I know. Still, it would cost a crap load to get a plasma shipped across country, or worse yet, overseas. I don't get all of your special forces bonuses , I'm just a paper pushing military office jockey.

I saw the A750 Samsung at Sears and the PQ looked horrible! I know it's a bad way to audition a TV, but it really did look bad. They really should put a little more effort into maximizing the quality of the image, especially since the people that work there get commission. Has anybody here seen the PQ of the A650 or A750, or own one?

[tilapiah6]

I went ahead and went with the A850. Can't wait!

Given what you said about plasmas not being an option, I'd also highly recommend the Samsung LN52A650 or 750. Not just because I own one, but after comparing it to my XBR4 and my friend's LG and Toshiba, the value of the Samsung can't be beat in my book unless you're comparing it to a Pioneer Kuro. Do take into account the screen on the Samsung is glossy so if you're in a room with a lot of light, you will get some glare and reflection. I have my 750 set up so all the windows are behind the TV minimizing glare but there is still some reflection although it doesn't bother me much.

This is what I would get, A Sanyo 1080p front projector for $1599, then $200-$250 for a screen and you are under $2000 and have 110" not a tiny over priced TV. http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/cont...=REG&A=details

The A850 is on its way. I figured if I was going to get a Samsung 52 inch, might as well get the best.

I'm sitting less than 8 feet away from the screen, so that would be way too much of a screen. I'll make sure my next house has a big enough room to do something like this, though. Definitely want a projector eventually.

Congrats on your purchase! Post a pic when you're all set-up.

[tilapiah6]

And thank you Irrob for originally recommending that line from Samsung to me.

[HD 335]

congrats on the purchase you'll love it! And actually there is a 950 but of course out of your $2k budget

[HDorBust]

I say go with the 650 or 750 on Amazon, for sure.

...and I'm not just saying that because I have a 650, I swear

***edit, feel stupid...must've missed the 4 posts where you talked about your purchase....congrats man!!

[realdeal]

but never made that big of a purchase online

it really sounds interesting for the ones that brought the 650 how do you like it so far any regrets i just cant make up my mind lol

As long as your environment allows for a glossy panel, it's a great TV.

Next time I'd get a front projector even if the room is not ideal; the reason why is you can focus it down to fit the room. You could have focused it to 52" or any size the room can handle.

Another factor is that I'm living in a house where I cannot really run wires through the wall because it's a rented house. Also, I'll only be here for a few more years tops. Until I get to a place where I know I am going to retire, I'm not getting a front projector. Also, when I finally do get a front projector, I'm going to get a really nice one.

And I think I got one of the best! (from the reviews/for that size)

I do have a question: Would I get the same performance using a projector and a white screen as I would with the A850?
