Jason,
I still think the Aspect line from Hitachi would work for his price range
and for image quality. I'm prejudiced in so far as I am a die hard fan of
CRT RP. Also something in the regular Hitachi line would work. The 51"
Aspect is 1,199.99 Model(51M200), Aspect by Hitachi 65" HDTV Display
(65M200) 1,899.99, Hitachi 51" HDTV (51F710S) 1,614.00, Hitachi 57" HDTV
(57F710S) 1,709.00 with cable card and built in tuner (I know this is more
than what you want for him but thought I'd throw it in the mix.} The
downside on these is that they only have either one HDMI, or DVI input.
Beautiful blacks and a very sharp bright picture though and an amazing price
point as well. All models listed available from Circuit City, not the
internet vendor Du Jour. To see details go to www.circuitcity.com and type
Hitachi televisions in the search bar.
Happy Hunting

A friend of mine, who is not very discerning when it comes to video quality,
is looking for his first 'big' TV. His room is laid out in such a way that
the TV will be about 8 feet from the sitting position, so doing some math, I
come up with 42" - 50" as his best size choices (3 to 4 picture heights). He
would like to spend $1500 to $2000 out the door, and does not need to hang
it on the wall.
>From the reading I've done, I feel that I should stay away from DLP due to
screen door, lcd due to quality, and plasma due to burn in. I'm thinking of
steering him toward JVC D-ILA, but I can't seem to find anything less than
about $3500. the next best thing seems to be 3-chip DLP or LCD. I'd also
like one with 2 digital inputs since he isn't likely to be buying a receiver
and surround sound setup soon. So it will be a simple system with an
upscaling dvd player and maybe hd cable or satellite for now.
To summarize, I'm looking for a flat panel or thing rear projector 42" - 50"
HDTV, no tuner required, 1280x720 or greater resolution (1080p not needed).
Any advice is appreciated!
Jason
