Sony 50" WEGA 3LCD Rear Projection TV with CableCard Slot.

Would the above TV have good picture as the LCD?

Is people still buying Projection TV's?

aside from that hurting my head a bit to read, hah, personally, i wouldnt bother buying a projection tv....they're heavy, take up a lot of room, and in my opinion, can be kind of an eye sore to look at. I've NEVER been a TV snob....have been using a 36"tube tv I bought on CL for $75 two years ago, but finally decided to buy a decent TV but made sure not to impulse buy and really look around for the best prices and reviews! You can get a good flat panel tv for about the same cost as a projection tv (especially on the website you mentioned)....i just bought a 50" panasonic plasma tv two months ago on dells online website for $620 + free shipping and handling! VERY happy with it!

This is the TV I bought...and was able to haggle the price with the sales rep on their 800 ordering line: Panasonic Viera TC-P50X1

I wouldn't buy a projection TV now, too big, needs frequent calibration, more chance of burn-in. I also wouldn't buy a 720P TV, if you're going to get a decent size new (flat) TV make sure it's 1080P (full HDTV Resolution).

No, I isn't buying a projection TV because I's already have a large LCD screen TV.

I would say no - not because there may be something wrong with them but because the prices of large lcds and plasmas have gotton so much better - why get a bulky thing that may not be 'all that' in another year or two (if not already) when you can get a 46" 1080p lcd for under $900 with shipping included?

[robb01]

I doubt they are. LCD's and plasmas have come so far down in price

No more projection tv for me!! Just purchased a flat screen 3D/wireless tv for a lot less than the projection tv I had.

I'll never stop using my projection tv for movies and video games.
