Your TV is on 16 hours a day?

How is that possible, football is only on for 4 months!

yep, you take care of your senior citizen parent and your TV will stay on that much, Tweeter lost money on me when I purchsed the extended warranty on my Samsung DLP 5 years ago, it now has over 25000 hours on it.

You've got that so wrong. Flat Panels of the same performance and size are so far outside of projection TV's price range. They will be around for a good long while.

I dont think its 'so wrong'; but I guess lcos is the exception to the rule. Different strokes I guess but I couldnt live with the depth I dont think.

*Edit* reading more I guess I am ill informed, seems dlp is still going strong with large 1080p displays

I havent seen any DLP projections that match up with the LCOS sets... Other than the Sony SXRD I pretty much swore off projection televisions. Hopefully the other LCOS sets like this Olevia are similar in quality.

If you've never heard of Syntax Olevia just look up the reviews for their 47" LCD: 747i.

It upscales standard def content to 1080p better than any other TV in the world. Check out the AVS thread.

That's page 2 of the thread, scroll down for some pictures of the set in action.

AFter the Infocus Screenplay FIASCO, I will never own another projector set again. AT least with LCD the bulb doesn't get hot

Wish I had a room big enough


ETA: Free shipping too. Just searched Froogle and the cheapest for this runs about $1900-2000 including shipping.

If you can fit in the room it's big enough! My brother has a 65" Sony in his 8x10 living room, it's like a friggin' mini movie theater

I used to think that too until I saw the Sony SXRD LCOS televisions. Those are nicer IMO than a majority of the flat panels. As long as there is a price premium on flat panels the projection TVs will survive.

I haven't seen it yet, but 4 (yes four) of my friends just ordered this 60" Sony from @m@zon. It's currently $1800- down from $2800. We're a bunch of A/V geeks that typically steer clear of Sony because you pay for the brand name, but apparently the picture is the best they've seen. Luckily, my roommate is one of them, so I'm anxiously waiting for the delivery.

i have had my 30in olevia that i got way back when halo 2 came out, actually i bought it just for that game. now im a well addicted halo 2 fan, so i believe i may have put in a few hrs every now and then and wat do you know its still working never came across any problems except that fact that its not as high def as my 23in samsung. but hey they cost the same price so wat can you expect for a mid end lcd.

other than that, this tv is fugly and i rather have an lcd tv.

Yes, SXRD is Sony's trademark name for their LCoS technology.
