It seems that you know your TV technologies, so perhaps you can help me. I've tried to decide what to buy for several months now - LCD rear projection, DLP? Wherever I go, they tell me a different story. However, there seemed to be a similar thinking regarding the intended use of my future TV - i.e. if I will use it mostly for regular cable programs, movies, and sports, then the DLP is superior as it has a faster refresh rate. So, I decided on a 60" DLP. Now, one problem remained; Samsung, Panasonic, or Toshiba? But, today they confused me even more. I've been told that a higher resolution DLP is coming out (1080P), which most likely will have even better picture quality, and that Sony came out with a new technology (SXRD) that is even better than the DLP - in all aspects, except the price. So, here I am again - just as confused now as I was several months ago whwn I started this process. Please help - which has a superior picture (all aspects - color, brightness, refresh rate, contrast, etc.) - 60" Samsung (1080P), 60" Toshiba (1080P), or the 60" Sony SXRD? Thanks for your help.
Just thought I would let those of you who are looking for a new high end tv within the next few months that you may want to hold out for the new Sony LCoS (SXRD) tv's. Last year they only offered it in a 70" model but in late Sept- early Oct they will have both 50 and 60" models avail. I don't have all the specs yet but I do know they a will be 1080P (1920 X 1080) with ATSC tuner, cable card, etc...
The prices I have seen so far are 3999 for the 50" and 4999 for the 60" Though that could change and possible drop by the time they hit the market.
I will keep you updated as I get more info
