I'm trying to find a really good 42-47 inch HDTV to watch football and play videogames on.I have no idea which TV is better than the other.Please help me out!
I found these TV's and they look good to me, but I don't know much about which one is better or what TV I should get.

Are the higher ones new?I don't really know the difference
did some more reading and saw the new Samsung HDTV's will be out in a few months... Should I wait for them to come out?I hope to spend $2,500 or less.But if the new Samsungs are $3,000 I might pay a little more.

Dwayne-
A lot of the Samsung DLP sets have a problem with "delay" when playing videogames. The problem is well know and written about in many of the threads. If your set on getting a Samsung, you should check them out.
For your intended uses the Sony LCD your looking at is a very safe bet. |

Another question, sorry if I'm bothering anyone... What about the Mitsubishi or Toshiba DLP screens? They do the same for the videogames?I just want to get the BEST TV I can for games and football watching for the price range |

When I was shopping for a new set back in late August, the 2 main things I wanted it for were NFL and Videogames. After looking at everything and trying a couple sets at home, I ended up witht the 52" JVC DIla set (HD52z575 -silver or HD52z585 -black). It might be a little bigger than what your looking for, but you can find it for well under $2500 (even as low as 2k) and it performs great with all videogames (Dreamcast, PS2, XBOX) and football looks outstanding.
In my opinion it is the best TV available under $3,000. |

That TV seems like just what I need, but it sucks that I can't fit it into my bedroom.That's were I would be putting the HDTV and it will only fit at 47 inch at most.Any smaller TV's like that are what is the next best one? |

If I were buying a TV for my bedroom in that size/price range, I would most likely go with a Sony or Hitachi 42" LCD. Both can be found for around $2000-$2200, they perform flawlessly with games, and LCD technology has a long well proven track record.
Just my opinion though. I've had problems with DLP that would sway me toward LCD but you might not experience the same issues. Take a look around and see what you like best. The Toshiba 46" DLP your asking about is a very wide TV. It might not fit in the space you have. |
