Samsung HLT6176S or MITSU WD-65733?

[rebfandan]

Hello all. New member, first thread started.

Please help. I want to invest in my first HDTV. For the picture size to $$ ratio, I have settled on rear projection (not at all caught up in the ability to hang it). A close friend has a 61" Samsung HLT6176S DLP that I have seen in all sorts of lighting conditions, playing sports and all sorts of other programming. And I have been very impressed by its PQ and performance.

I've also heard good things about the MITSU rear projections and I'm eyeing a 65" WD-65733. It is also a DLP, but I've only seen it inside the retailer. Both are DLP and have 120hz. I am huge into sports and gaming (PS3) and blu-ray movies.

Can anyone offer suggestions based on personal experience with either brand or model? Any suggestions will be more help than you know. Thanks!
