42 Inch Maxent Plasma Tv
im looking to buy a cheap 42 inch lcd or plasma tv and i saw a few. the quality is the same.?
i saw the Maxent mx- 42hpt51. at costco for $849 . the quaity is basically the same as the more expensive ones, but will it be reliable or does it break right when the warranty runs out?
anyone bought this tv at costco or could give me any reviews??
thanks
There are rear projection LCD’s and DLP’s which use mirror panels and color wheels to filter and project a very large screen image [ranging from 65" to 72" diagonally measured]. The major concern is replacement cost of lamps which usually cost between $200 – $300 and last any number of hours depending on how the TV is shut off. Failing to properly shut down either LCD or DLP units which involves leaving on the main fan running for some 20 minutes — will result in early failure of projection lamps. And there’s the added concern regarding the use of “organic” material which make up the LCD panels/mirrors and usually causes the blue panel to fade over a period of time. So you may have to look forward to purchasing a new LCD projection TV. But getting back to DLP projection TV, there is the issue of viewers seeing the dreaded “rainbow effect” which are color flashes appear in highly contrasty dark scenes. Their sighting can cause headaches and is quite annoying to the viewers. And a possible cure is to choose a color wheel which operates faster than 3X; say 4X which seems to be the threshold speed that virtually eliminates the rainbow effect.
And finally, we should also consider the “ultimate, best” TV technology: “Front Projection.”
You may well want to check out another technology: DLP front projection which produces a movie-like experience of HD television, DVDs, videos and games. And according to Consumer Reports, “front projection has a superior image — better than CRT’s, LCDs or plasma.”
Check out the reviews for a “92″ DLP generated [front projection] TV image at amazon.com by submitting the search query: “Infocus SP4805.” There are any number of customer submitted pictures of projected HDTV image(s) along with other high-quality regular DVD-movie images projected on bare white wall surfaces. And the price for a refurbished ScreenPlay 4805 is about $550 with lamps costing around $330 which will last around 4,000 hours. Also check out various reviews at Consumer Reports [November 2005 & December 2006] in which front projection is rated “superior” to plasma, lcd.
Good luck!
