This uniquely designed DLP HDTV is capable of producing an excellent picture.
The good: Groundbreaking pedestal design; video processing includes 2:3 pull-down, accurate color decoding, and grayscale tracking after calibration.
The bad: Pedestal probably not right for all installations; needs calibration for peak performance; some visible low-level noise; minor vertical pincushion geometry errors.

Plasma - Display technology used in large-screen, flat-panel TVs. Each plasma panel contains thousands of tiny tubes that are like miniature fluorescent lights and are filled by ionized gas in a plasma state. When excited by electricity, the tubes glow in different colors and intensities to create an image.
