what kind of tv do you have ?

[gorie]

answer based on your main tv if you have more than one.

[IronDragon1]

My imagination/a Sirius radio

In a former life I had an HDTV ready Panasonic 53" and my couch was like 6 feet from the TV

What in God's name has possessed you to ask this. /images/graemlins/confused.gif

Has Peachy's minivan-sized projection system filled you with an insatiable curiosity?

[MrTrik]

I've always been a Sony guy. I suppose when I make the leap to HD I'll have to consider everything.

[touchfaith]

Cool poll, I /images/graemlins/heart.gif my TV!

I picked up a 57" Hatachi Ultravision HD Ready Rear-Projection last year. (Oh yeah! Widescreen (I think most RP's are though))

At the time (and still imo) flats are not where they need to be. Since they are so popular with the yuppies though, awesome deals can be had on rear-projection.

I think I paid $1900 and it's awesome. No side viewing issues, crisp picture and a ton of input options.

I will not consider a flat screen for at least another 3 years when the technology/costs lower to acceptable consumer levels. Right now, they are overpriced by far.

[Danenania]

46 inch Widescreen Toshiba DLP Projection with HD. Bought it 3 days ago. It's beautiful. I sit too close because apartment is small. I get by.

[TheIrishThug]

i'm a poor college kid, still mooching of others. but that will mean when i do get one it will be really kick ass by today's standards.

[spamuell]

Why no love for widescreen tvs between 26 and 30 inches?

EDIT: I see, I take it I'm meant to choose 30 inch and the or smaller is implied?

[peachy]

I have an 72' HDTV mitsubishi and then 2 sony plasma thingys that hangs on the wall thats 20something inches i love them both...the flat screens are great for my office and bedroom

well, i'm tv shopping, and after looking at/reading about a lot of tv's i thought the poll might be interesting.
but yes peachy's gigantazoid tv came to mind at one point /images/graemlins/tongue.gif (no i don't want one that big!!).

also i'm hoping for results to show my boyfriend i'm not being as unreasonable as he thinks about the tv size i want. (32 widescreen , maybe 37). he's being weird.

mostly just got curious, though.

[kerssens]

I could only answer 3 questions....I have a 31" Phillips Magnavox

edit: I could have answered more.

[DarkForceRising]

Since you might be a girl this poll is kind of cute.

Nevertheless, Creepy Guys' "How bad is your acne?" poll (his 1st post as I recall) is still the best I've ever seen.

er i don't know i suck at making polls. i was just going by a list at some site of the standard sizes. but i see some obvious sizes weren't included. oops, close enough.

Lots of girls think size does not matter....till they see a big one in real life. /images/graemlins/tongue.gif

As always I don't know what I'm talking about. But I do have a 55" hitachi ultravison and I have tv envy after reading this thread. I wish mine was bigger than peachy's at least! /images/graemlins/crazy.gif

32-37" is very small for hd content

maybe, we don't need bigger than 37" though. if we went bigger than that we'd pretty much have to get a projection, and neither of us really want one of those. he doesn't think we need bigger than 30, so i doubt anything over 37 is going to be the answer. /images/graemlins/smile.gif

not sure if we will get CRT or LCD yet.

[astroglide]

what is the reason that you don't want a projection unit?

[battschr]

52 inch rear projection RCA widescreen, HD ready,and I love it.

[iMsoLucky0]

I love my Panasonic 50' LCD Projection.

It's ubernice.

i don't know, they don't look good unless you're looking at them straight on. and we just don't need a tv that big. and they are expensive. we haven't looked at them too much because my bf didn't seem into them at all. we'll probably just get a CRT, they're suppose to be best for picture anyway aren't they ? plus they're least expensive. it just sucks that they're so huge and heavy.

[rusellmj]

Sony Wega. Awsome.

[Recliner]

No TV. Awesome.

I don't own a TV, nor do I want to.

[dibbs]

32" Toshiba flat screen CRT. I have a small room so anything bigger I couldnt really do, and the picture is beautiful on it. I'm a really big Sony Wega fan as well.

[kasey2004]

$5 thrift store 19in.

I had a 25in. Dawoo til the picture tube blew and i have put off buying a nice one for a lil while (in college)

I have a pretty big library, I've read a ton of books, and I still don't understand people who say reading is intellectual and TV is stupid.

No huge difference to me.

[Jimbo]

I have two, one HD monitor the 65" Sony CRT downstairs and an RCA DLP 61" HDTV in my master bedroom upstairs. After watching football in HD a few years ago I had to have it at my home. Our local cable system offered HD boxes in July of 03 and I've had it ever since.

I still watch some non-HD programming but mainly DVD's or sporting events and news programs (on FOX of course).

JVC 32" CRT that I got for $20 at a garage sale.

I sold my old Sony 19" for $35 at different garage sale.

[astroglide]

the viewing angles are much better now. for hd content, you do want one that big. look at http://www.myhometheater.homestead.com/viewingdistancecalculator.html and consider the viewing distance it suggests for thx/smpte. for the price of a decent 37" flat panel you can get a 50" rear projection lcd.
