There are LCDs, Plasmas, DLPs, Projectors, and who knows what else. What's the best thing ot use for gaming on a big screen?
 
No less than a 1080p projector on a 300" screen with 4 8800GTX's in Quad SLI in a zero gravity environment.
 
We talking consoles, pc gaming, what? Also what is you budget?

Sorry, I should have said - PC. I'm looking for good image quality, atleast somewhat comprable to CRT or better. I dislike LCD for lack of dark colors and color vibrance, on the ones I've used.0.

Budget, I'd preffer to stay around $1,500.. But, if it's good enough (long life expectancy, good quality, etc.) I could spend more like $4,00
 
Well, LCD definately has poor dark colors, but the color vibrance shouldn't be an issue. Plasma has the good contrast you want, but I'm not sure how good response times and motion blur is on plasma. DLP has better dark colors than LCD, but I've got a 4000:1 dynamic contrast DLP projector and its dark colors still aren't good enough for me.

Costco has the 37" Westinghouse for $799. I'd get that and wait for a better technology, like OLED or maybe local dimming LED, before I dropped over $1500, if I were you, yo!
 
I had a 20" Widescreen ViewSonic, pretty new I believe. The colors were horrible on that LCD. I looked over at my nephew's monitor(CRT) and said, why isn't my ocean... blue? :eek:
Will the westinghouse be better than that?

That ViewSonic was probably a 6-bit TN panel. The Westinghouse is an 8-bit P-MVA. My 8-bit LCD is calibrated to look just like my CRT, and it does look about the same until I start to view pictures with a lot of dark colors. LCD's appear washed out when displaying dark scenes, otherwise they looks fine.
