Going shopping this am. I have seen a Sony 50 inch Pro Plasma monitor. 1366 x 768 and Sony 50 inch Sxrd 1920 x 1080 LCD. Same store. Both are 3600.
I like both. Thoughts?

Bug: you know that I like my 60" SXRD. It is LCOS not LCD.
Best of luck shopping.

Rat. I was hoping for your opinion this am. My son thinks the SXRD is the TV for me. My current 42 plasma is 1024x1024. I can't see going less. The 42 will go in my son's room. We will make the switch Christmas Eve.

Any interest in adopting a 35 year old?

Pioneer Elete 50" plasma. Still haven't seen anything better myself.
Best bang for the buck might be the Panasonic. Sharps aren't cheap, but also a good choice IMHO.

I looked at a Mitsu 627 52 DLP and a Sony SXRD 50 LCoS Sunday. Both 50 inch. 3699 and 3599 rspectively. Totally awesome HD pictures. Should make a purchase on Wednesday.

dmn23. You are close enough for weekend visits. I'm doing my shopping at HiFiBuys Nashville.

Bug: before you actually buy either the Sony or the Mits, give both a good second look. First, get both on a HD feed of some sort (viewing both at the same time) and look at peoples faces for detail, shading, texture, realism and edge effects. Then, get both on a SD feed of some sort(viewing both at the same time) and look for the same things.
I saw a distinct difference between the Mits and Sony which I attribute to the difference between DLP and LCOS technology.

Oh, I forgot one other thing. Look at the blacks and the shading toward absolute black between the two.

I did notice this at the side by side and I would give a slight nod to the Sony.
