    I am looking for a pair of TV's for our new house. Looking for a 55'' for my living room and a 46 or so for my Game room. I currently have a Sony 26'' which is my oldest TV and it works like a charm. I also have a 32'' Samsung LCD that has been a great TV so far. My 46'' LG however is the middle tv when it comes to age and it has given me problems. I think an LG is the last on my list of considerations. So post up what kind you have and how long you have had it.

    I have 3 Samsung LCD's in my house. I've had them for about 2 years now and have had zero issues. I did start off with a 55" Plasma for my media room, but the screen just popped one day and it took about 2 months of dealing with Best Buy and Samsung to get it squared away. I have also been running Samsung Blu-Ray players in each room and they have been the biggest pieces of shit, replaced one of them twice and replaced another one once. I would go LED if I was shopping for new ones again, LED had just came out when I bought mine and the price was not worth it to me for the slightly better picture quality and the thinner casing. I wanted Plasma for the movie room for the darker blacks, but I've been more impressed with my LCD's than I was with my Plasma when it was working. But it comes down to the TV model...cheap Wal-Mart stuff with low MHz and such will not compare with top of the line models from the same company. I spent a lot of time researching which model to buy at that time, but my shit would be far outdated by now. I still vote for LCD unless you have a 100% dark room for a media room and don't have to worry about the glare...then you just have to hope that the screen lasts.

    Nah I chose for the 4th car garage instead of the theatre room. I don't watch enough TV to really justify an LED but the 55'' LCD's seem to be up there in price with the LED's. My brother has a 55'' LED Samsung 6 series that he spent like 3k on when it first came out. The picture is bad ass but I don't know if I would spend that kind of coin on a TV. I think the model he has is down to 2200$ or so now but still. I can buy two LCD's for that price and be perfectly fine with the picture. I am definitely not buying from Walmart. Although I have been hearing good things from Vizio but not sure how the longevity of the TV is.

    What neighborhood did you build/buy in to get a 4 car garage? I agree about the LCD vs. LED price comparison, I would choose the cheaper option personally.

    Bentwood @ Bay Colony in League City. The 3rd bay is 2 cars deep but it is the only one like it in the neighborhood. We looked around and they were the only builder who would do it for us.

    Nice....should be a nice feeling. I stupidly fucked myself with the garage aspect of my house. We found a builder (Coventry) who we will be going with for our next house in a couple years. They have a fairly nice model that we like that I can opt into a 5 car garage with raised ceilings for a lift. I did not have my Z06 when we built this house so I didn't really care...now I live here and I regret it every day.

    yeah we almost backed out and went another route due to cost of the house but in the end we figured buying a smaller house than building a shop would put us around the same if not more in cost. The garage roofs are higher than most but not high enough for a lift (I don't think). The wife wanted a 4 car garage more than I did though.

    damn 10 grand and its not even 1080P LOL

    I would just buy a samsung LED for that price. I don't watch TV enough for that kind of money. I am leaning towards a 55'' for the living room. Maybe a 50'' for the game room.

    Been thinking about that too. I am not sure how a projector is though. Do you like yours? I need something that doesnt take up space cause we have a pool table/bar going in the game room.

    all you need is a white wall or a pull down screen, you hang the projector on the ceiling. We have the sony 3lcd works good and save room

    The quality of a projector depends a lot on the screen....a projector against a wall will look terrible. White screens are even a bit ho-hum when it comes to color quality because the richer colors are not deep enough, so people will go with a silver screen which will not darken the brights but will absorb the color and allow for a deeper black and such. I would only do a projector if I had a movie room that could use a 200" screen and seat 8-10 people and be completely dark.

    or like this I guess! I use a white screen but I dont use it much maybe thats why but it saves space!

    If you have high ambient light during the day I would go LCD. The plasma has a glass cover screen that does show glare. We have 3 Samsung LCD's and the oldest one is at least 4 years old.
