Recommend a 65" LCD TV

I'm finally building a "man cave" and I know some of you LCD gurus have a brand/model you would suggest.. lets hear it.

Trying to keep it around $3500

The only two companies I can think of they that touch or beat that size is Sharp and Sony...and you will be paying much more then 3g.

Samsung makes a 57"

Here's one I found..

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16889022065

For what its worth my current TV is an Olevia and I've been very happy with it

I'll go check out what Samsung has to offer though, had a few of those.

Not really familiar with Olevia other then I see them as a generic brand.

definitely samsung 57" over Olevia.

Are you just looking for 65" only, or in that range?

I'm not in a hurry per say, but I'd like to get it done in the next month.

$3,500 might get you a Sony 52" xbr......but +65" I don't know where you are gonna get a decent LCD for that kind of coin.

I doubt your gonna get an LCD that big without spending a bundle. I'm moving soon and I'm on the hunt for a Sammy 52a750. They just came out a short time ago and the prices are already in the mid 2 range. Amazon seems to be the most aggressive with the pricing and a 52" LCD is pretty big IMO.

52 inches for an LCD is large, and any larger will cost you quite a bit. I think your best bet would be plasma if you want wall mountable, but if you want something reliable, cost effective and also energy efficent, the LED DLP's are the best bet. I paid 1799.99 for my HLT-6189S with TV stand for free, and the lower version was around 1200. BTW, thats a 61 inch DLP with 1.3HDMI and bluetooth.

Yeah, I went to check out some 52" TV's and they'll do the job. The man cave isn't all that big, 380 sq feet.

quick question: why LCD? in a "cave" you don't have to worry about glare so wouldn't a plasma be a consideration?

you can probably get a panny 58 in for $3000

Samsung 58" plasma for $2600. I don't know anything about this TV so I'm not recommending. I happen to catch this deal.
