My 18 year old (YES 18 year old - still looks pretty good) projection TV in the living room just doesn't do my new HTPC justice (no s-video - only composite input) so I went out shopping for a replacement with the wife today.

This was on sale for $1,999 at BestBuy. I was originally looking at a Mitsubishi rear projection TV for around $1500 but this thing just blue me away.

Dang thing even has an SVGA PC input on it! :chug

Wow! Very nice choice. I'm still using my 36" tube TV that I bought in 2000. No plans to upgrade it just yet unless I buy the wife some more shoes.

You FP, are a lucky Man!

I would love to upgrade to one of those.. How do computer apps look on it? Any idea?

Looks great, but what's the response time?

No idea yet what the PC looks like on it. Won't be delivered until Monday

Frankly I was just planning on getting a tube type rear projector and connecting the HTPC via s-video. But I'm DEFINATELY going to try hooking it up via the SVGA jack and see what it looks like.

I don't use the HTPC for anything but video and music playback, but if the image looks legible enough for it, I may use it for casual browsing as well. I'll be VERY interested to see how good it looks.

This is a VERY nice TV. It really blew me away at the store, and the SVGA input only sweetend the deal for me.

That is a very nice TV I will only lever have one of those in my dreams. My husband would love it if we could afford one.
