Rear Projection TVs Are More Affordable

Will the rear projection TV market shrivel up and die? On one hand, the rear projection television is an attractive item because it provides high quality images with larger screens, and at a lower cost, to boot. Yet, on the other hand, major manufacturers like Sony, Panasonic, Hitachi, Toshiba and Philips balked at the market and opted out of the rear projection TV market.

As they search for ways to make LCD and plasma screen TV sets more affordable to the masses ($9,000 being a little out-of-range for most people), the theater projector TV models may one day become extinct. Even so, Samsung and Mitsubishi are offering some great products for the gotta-have-it-now crowd.

Panasonic is another popular name-brand in the rear projection world, even though they've received much more praise for their plasma HDTV sets. It's LIFI (Light Fidelity) flagship offers a super long-lasting video projector bulb, which carries a lifetime guarantee.

Other benefits of this rear projection TV is its color accuracy, its quick turn-on time and its stable brightness performance. However, there are a few drawbacks; notably the lack of depth in their black shade. Even so, the 56-inch Panasonic PT-56LCX70 LIFI 720p HDTV is a solid entry level set that continues to sell.

Rear projection TV sets can get you the biggest size for your money, with the 50-inch Samsung HL50A650 retailing for less than $1,000 and the Mitsubishi WD-73736 for less than $2,000. Generally, the bigger your rear projection TV is, the more you'll save. All rear projection TV sets come with a native display resolution of 1080p, which gives you greater picture quality.

Even though you'll save a lot of money, you should not take your theater projectors decision lightly because a home theater is still a large expense. Additionally, you'll want to ensure you won't have to buy new bulbs or pay hefty repair bills in the future after rushing into an impulsive decision.
