Re: Great xbox 360 + halo 3 + Samsung DLP deal! (save $410)
[ QUOTE ]
Now all I see is a $350 deal w/out Halo 3. I think I'm going to step up and get a 61", xbox, and get Halo 3 after tomorrow. Anyone know how long this deal is going to last? Also, has anyone had any trouble w/ the DLP projection? I currently have an LCD and want to know how it would compare to a DLP projection TV. [/ QUOTE ] You might want to do some price comparisons on the 61", I didn't do any myself since I went with the cheapest one, but I heard the price difference between amazon and best buy might be around $300 for the bigger tv's. It might be worth shopping around for the higher end models. Like others said, this is is really only a sick deal if you get the 50" 720p model. Otherwise it seems to be just an ok deal at best. As for LCD vs plasma vs DLP, I have heard only good things about DLP, and it should have a longer life as well. You might need to pay around $200 to replace the bulb in a DLP every 3-7 years, but the plasma/LCD wear out and those don't have a bulb to replace, they just need to be entirely replaced eventually.

[/ QUOTE ] The one I was looking at is already on sale for $200 less + the $350 off (I've been doing my research...), which actually makes this a better deal since I was planning on purchasing the 360 anyway once Halo came out. This looks like a sweet deal, now I just gotta make some room in my apt until I can move in to my house. Also, thanks for the info on the DLP projection TV's

Re: Great xbox 360 + halo 3 + Samsung DLP deal! (save $410)
Bad things about DLP (the samsung 50" in particular):
1. There's like no vertical viewing angle. It's approximately 4 degrees. If you stand up to play, say, a wii game, you can barely see what's going on on the screen. 2. See 1. 3. No, really, this is terrible. Read that again.

[/ QUOTE ] Depending on your sitting setup this is really the only thing that would keep someone from getting a DLP. It's not as bad as Duke describes unless you have a small living area and want to play Wii. I went and viewed the 50" Samsung this weekend, and I can say that even in my small apartment living room I'm not gonna have a problem with this.
