Easy Decision

I didn’t have to think very long about getting the new TV.  I put the old one up on Craig’s List and ordered the new one earlier this week.  I found selling stuff on Craig’s List a breeze.  Several people emailed and called me about the TV and one guy drove up and got it on Thursday.  I had the new one (HL-50A650) delivered on Saturday so I was only out a TV for a day.  Well that’s technically not true.  I have a 32” HP LCD in the computer room so I was never really TV-less.

Overall I’m very pleased with the new DLP.  It has 3 HDMI ports so I don’t have to use my 3x1 switch anymore.  I’ve got the Satellite PVR, DVD player and XBOX 360 connected via DVI.  The 360 looks AMAZING in 1080p!!  I was playing Burnout yesterday and was truely blown away.  Last night I watched Enemy of the State, just standard DVD upconverted, and I discovered the only thing that I don’t really like about the new set.  When the room’s pitch black, the left side of the TV emits a glow from the bulb that can be a little distracting.  I never noticed this on the old set.
