I'm glad you put the link in your post.
LCOS is one of the "newer" TVs, took a while to get it to the streets.
This TV is so new that it may not be in showrooms yet or gotten reviews. I will keep a look out for it.
Any TV that is 720p will have to down convert 1080i/p to 720p, thats life. So far ABC and FOX are the 720p, the others are 1080i.
For gaming LCD monitors on computers they say under 16ms is the place to be. John
The new 52 inch HD-ILA Rear Projection LCOS TV (HD-52G886) just came out a couple weeks ago (early August 2005), and there is virtually no info on it around the net at the moment:

I really like a lot of the technology behind it (LCOS eliminating rainbow effect, screen door effect, etc.) I also like that it's 720p native, as that's going to be the standard resolution for Xbox 360 software, and for a lot of HD broadcasts.
Reading the CNET reviews, it appears last years model (the HD-52Z575) had a few issues, and only got a 6.4 in their review. But from what I can glean from the new models specs, it appears they have tried to address most of these issues with new features such as 5 point digital color management, Dynamic Gamma Correction Circuitry, and GENESSA Picture Processing.
So my question is, does anyone know anything about this TV? What are your opinions?
Also, I'm considering a 37 inch LCD by Proton that features a 1200:1 dynamic contrast ratio, and 1366 x 768 native resolution.

My issues with this TV is that I'm not sure if they'll be any problems having a TV that has a native resolution that is between 1080 and 720, meaning it will have to either up sample or down sample every signal you give it. Also I'm not sure whether or not the 12ms response time on the LCD TV would be an issue at all.
I can get both TV's for around $1900, and I can easily accommodate both the 52 inch JVC and the 37 inch Proton in my family room, so the only thing that factors into my decision is which TV is better. Anyone care to give their thoughts?
