That's exactly why I am not having kids! Funny thing is that those projectors and screens cost the same amount as one of those over hyped 55" 3d tvs. The bad part is the cost of the stupid bulbs.

On a side note:I did TV reviews for some time and it makes me sick how bad some people are misinformed and sold on gimmicks and size alone. I go into Walmart/Best Buy and listen to people spew out nonsense and then I politely educate anyone that is about to make a bad purchase. I can't help it.

Well, for those of us on here who might be about to make a bad purchase, what should we be looking for?

i personaly would only use SamSung, Sony, or LG.. but they are also the most expensive ones,, gess u pay for the name in some cases. But my motherinlaw has a vizio seems to work fine with no issues

 
Sony is overpriced for what you get. And I assume you are talking about LED televisions only?

From the reviews I have done and the tvs I have viewed, I would only go with Sony, LG and Samsung also as far as LED. Plasma I would go LG, Sammy or flagship Panny.  The vizio sets I have looked at are great for bedroom sets but I have seen dozens that have main board failures, pixel issues and other deal breakers. I am usually a little cautions of the walmart tvs because sometimes they have models that are slightly inferior.
I am waiting for mine to break and for this 3-d phase to burn out (or get better?) before I decide but for sure, I can't go smaller than 60". I got used to that size sitting where I sit and I can't go smaller and I seriously doubt moving my couch is going to happen.

 
My lady's father is an engineer in the TV department at Panasonic. He was telling me that while the TVs you buy (Panasonic, and I believe Sony as well) at retail stores such as Best Buy are made in Japan, the ones you get at "discount stores" such as Costco, Sams Club, and Walmart are made in Mexico and have looser QC standards. He didn't say they perform any worse, or that the physical components are different... just that the craftsmanship may not be equal (so higher chance of heaving a dead pixel, etc). I would assume the same goes for most major TV producers. I live in San Diego, and I can tell you all the major electronics companies have offices, factories and warehouses just south of us in Tijuana, Mexico.
 
Also, in regards to waiting on buying a new TV... he suggested that we wait because Panasonic (as well as other makers) are coming out with 2nd and 3rd generation 3D TVs that are much better than the 1st generation versions (2010 and early-mid 2011 models). He also stated something about Panasonic having a glasses-less 3DTV (e.g. Nintendo 3DS) within the next couple of generations.

Right, but what he was specifically saying is that they are in the testing phases with this technology. They could produce it now, but it needs to be "consumer ready", meaning things like viewing angle and production cost needs to be addressed. he said this is about 2-3 generations of TVs away (so basically around 2014).
 
I bought now anyway, because I was tired of the 200lb 42" Plasma from 2006 that I had.

panasonic 50" plasma full hd something something... :)
 

i think its tx series but not sure :s

Yea, SDTV is GARBAGE when watching it on my 58" Panasonic... hell its garbage watching it on my 42 and 26" HDTVs as well. LOL, as a matter of fact it looks WORSE ont hese TVs versus watching them on an old standard def television sicne you can now notice all the imperfections and suckiness.
 
Amazing how spoiled we get once a new technology becomes mainstream.  

Eh, finally got around to it. Crappy pic, the room is dark, Im using a 1st gen Motorola Android (COME OUT THE WITH DAMN BIONIC ALREADY VERIZON!), and I'm too lazy to play with the lighting and/or camera settings.
 
Panasonic P58VT25 58" Plasma display, half of my 5.1 system, and the oldest PS3 ever... a 1st generation 20GB PS3. Got it on launch day... yes, its the one that didn't come with WiFi, and no that 6 Axis controller does not have "rumble".

  Plus I would never get a plasma Burn-in sucks.

Actually this has been fixed in the last couple years.  You really have to try to permanently get an image burned into them now.  It's the only reason at all I'm debating replacing my crt RPTV now.
