Over at Best Buy they are having a sale on a Smasung DLP 56″ 1080p HDTV for only $999. But hurry. The sale ends on December 8, 2008. My neighbor has this same TV, which he purchased at the end of 2006 for $1800. So $999 is a great price. Best Buy describes the TV as:
Product Features
- Built-in HDTV tuner
Add HD-capable antenna to receive over-the-air high-definition broadcasts, where available. Optional set-top box required for high-definition cable or satellite programming.- 56″ screen size
Measured diagonally from corner to corner for optimal viewing anywhere you sit.- 1080p display
Provides the highest quality progressive-scan picture possible from a high-definition source.- 16:9 widescreen aspect ratio
Delivers a cinema-style entertainment experience.
If you are looking for a HDTV this may be one to consider. Juts be aware that with DLP technology, you may have to replace the bulb every few years or so, depending on how much you use the TV.
Comments welcome.

Then again, you may very well be buying a new one after those few years. How much does a new bulb cost today, and will that bulb be available when it does need replacing?
It sounds good, it’s in my price range, if a bit big for the room, I’m not wedded to any tech (Plasma, LCD, DLP, OLED) and it’s got three HDMIs (I’d prefer four actually, but cable box, PS 3 and Xbox 360 would work) but the contrast absolutely sucks.
And yes, I’m looking, but I may not bite until the Super Bowl next year.

Hi Bryan,
By the SB prices may just drop again.
