LCoS and the LG brand of DLP television

Sorry I posted this twice. I am new to this Forum stuff....

Too bad we don't have the search function on these forum anymore; But we had some talks on this subject. I don't know if you have seen my replied to you or not. In there I mention the fact that the projection lamp was not very reliable. The thing lasted about 6 months and the work time is way under what it is suppose to be, in my estimation (samsung dlp). The lamp is actually made by toshiba but the price they ask is a bit over price (especially when the life is so short); just my opinion.
From what I understand, LCOS is out but it's just that the price hasn't come down yet (maybe a little window shopping this week end..and I don't mean MS either, hehe.

I recently took delivery of the 44' LG
DLP TV and so far so good except for
this little black spot in the lower
right hand corner. I appears to be
some lint/dirt behind the screen. It
might have snuck in their during the
build of it so I'm having Best Buy
bring out a replacement. But, let tell
you that the picture is GREAT!!! I
have an xbox and DVD player hooked up
via component and the picture offers hi
res vivid colors, sharp-clear images,
beautiful lighting (thx to DLP), and
good contrast. The TV looks really
good even at an angle. I have my TV
positioned so that if you move 3-6 feet
in any direction in my living room the
picture still looks the same. Also,
compared to the Samsung models, the DVD
is good but not great. The samsung
DLP's have this very bad "grainy"
effect going on and you can actually
see the pixels. The LG displays the
pixels much tighter and clearer and the
color is really good to. Of course, if
you want the best DVD picture on the
market, you need to get a DVD player
with a DVI connection. The only thing
I'm worried about is the new Toshiba
DLP's with the new chip looking
significantly better than the LG.
Everyone knows that Toshiba makes the
best DLP's hands down. But, if I had
to rate, I'd say the LG looks better
than the offerings from Samsung,
Phillips, Zenith, Panasonic, and some
of the Sony's (non Wega models).
Lastly, I'm getting Comcast HD tomorrow
and that will ultimately decide whether
I love the TV or hate it. If the HD
picture doesn't look good then I
probably will take the TV back and wait
for the Toshiba.

I have been following the technology, LCos's main claim to fame is that they can integrate more pixels in the same surface area than DLP, but this does not mean that they are superior - not yet. DLP has very good resolution, go to the showroom and look.
PS make sure you view the latest generatiuon DLP 2 chips. I wouldn't make a major investment in it for at least 6 more months - assuming we see some sets. the only one I found, a phillips, was not as good a set as the better DLP's.
I have seen some of the 3rd generation DLP's, and they looked very good. If I had my way, LCD flat panel (not LCD projection) would be the most reliable as it has no moving parts, but they are not there yet.

LG stands for Lucky Goldstar. Zenith was bought buy LG. Remember when you bought your first cheap microwave? Was it a Goldstar?
The Sony Wega 42"rear lcd and the LG "42 lcd rear projestion are simiular tv's, but if the lamp goes out on the LG your screwed. If the lamp goes out on the Song you can replace the lamp for $250 bucks and you have a new TV. That is what I was told by a TV store guy. I liked the 42" Sony rear projection LCD but I'll wait for them to come down. I went into the store looking for a Samsung 26" directview and I think the TV guy wanted to up sell me. I went to Circuit City and bought one for $663.
