Ok so I guess you can say im out of the loop a little bit. I remember back in the day(10 years ago) you could not play video games on projection TV's. I remember wanting to hook up the SNES but I read something in the manual saying that it will screw up the screen.
So fast forward to today. I am searching for a TV for the apartment. I see DLP rear projection Tv's at a good price, plus I'm used to the 46 inch projection the parents had for the last 10 years. For some reason I do not like LCD Tv's. Maybe I haven't seen any real good ones, but at the same time I'm in college and don't want to spend a crazy amount for a TV yet. FInally there is plasma. The myth about plasma tv's pull me away (don't know if its still true but 7 years dead half way through it loses picture quality by half) Anyway only plasmas I've really looked at are Vizio's.
So can DLP rear projection Tv's hold up on console systems? PS2, Gamecube, maybe even some older consoles like NES and SNES. Which is the best and most cost effect way of going by it. I can careless about how thin the TV is and the size. Price is important cause I am in college, but these 3 tv are pretty much the range im looking at.
This is what I'm looking at:
44" DLP Rear Projection HDTV. Forget the Brand. It was a name brand though. From Target.
originally 1499. I will end up paying around 700.
37" Olevia LCD. Frys has it on sale this weekend. HD ready which means no tuner.
599 this weekend.
42" Vizio Plasma. Nice screen. Don't know how the brand holds up. Has every Input and all kinds of options.
1200 I think at BJ's.
Any sugguestion?
