What kind of TV do you use for your main SageTV use?
I'm interested to see what kinds of TV's SageTV users use as their main SageTV screen. I know there are more options, but the poll limits to 10, so I tried to include a pretty representative mix.

Some of us use both a "normal" TV for routine viewing and fire up a front projector for watching some content on the big screen.

Where's the DLP option?
I'm using a 1080p Samsung DLP tv... Didn't see that option anywhere.
Great TV by the way. TV/XBox/PC Games all look and work great. HTPC works great, even improved the out of box colors (known slightly lower RED issues on early DLP models). Looks as good as most current model 720p and 1080p TVs in the market today... except maybe the new LED based Samsung DLP which last weekend I compared against Plasmas and LCDs and the DLP blew the others colors away. It's not a 1080p though

Westy LVM-42w2, enjoying the 1080p love!!! Not really a TV since no tuners but I have a hard time considering it an LCD computer monitor since it has lots of inputs and I have S-VHS, Laserdisc, DVD, and a Playstation also plugged into it.

Receiving/Installing Panasonic 42PH9UK this friday (crossing fingers).
I was just thinking the other day about starting a thread highlighting pictures of people's tv setups. So-maybe we can start includeing Shots of your setups with Sage running? JUC

See sig below. I watch most of my shows on the LCD, but some shows get watched on the projector. The projector was purchased mainly for watching movies. It's not an HD projector but HD still looks awesome on it!
