Is DLP done?

I am researching it, and it looks like if you get a LED based DLP, it works great.

i too have a 46 samsung dlp 720 p, wish it was 1080p but eh, i paid 750 for it about two years ago, still going strong and looks sweet. I would reccomend one, especially a led one because their only flaw is bulb goes out but led lasts way longer

my hitachi does 1080i, its pretty nice. I'll probably upgrade TVs christmas time.

I was thinkin about getting a DLP projector, is it the same as a TV, you just project it against a wall? I looked up some on ebay but it seems most do not have a regular coax cable input like the kind that comes out of the wall...

Do you honestly want to run coax directly into a projector?

Well yes, I watch cable tv on my tv's.

Uh.... if you're going to run cable... to a fancy new projector, i'd reccomend running the coax into the cable box, then running the best connection out of that to your fancy new projector.... seriously...

I don't have a cable box, or seen one in quite a while, arn't they outdated? Whats wrong with simple coax cable i'm not looking for hd quality, just a large cheap projection. I'm seeing quite alot of $300-600 dlp projectors on ebay, I would imagine the "fancy," ones costing quite a bit more.

Ok, I can dig my vcr outta the trash for you... it could handle that.

LCD is much older tech than DLP.

I have no idea why anyone would say DLP is "done" Both are good.

LCD is known to have better color resolution, and DLP is generally brighter (in the same price and wattage) and has much better contrast and blacks.

If your in a bright room or want really good black contrast then go for DLP. If you have a nice dark room, you can afford a projector with enough lumens and are more interested in color resolution then go for LCD.

Neither tech is going away anytime soon.

I have two big *** windows which kills the projector idea.

I am leaning towards that DLP i posted above.

Do any projectors have tuners in them such as TV's do? QAM?

I don't think that I have ever seen a projector with a Tuner in them.

It makes no sense...
