The proofs in the performance, you should not care how it does it as long as its reliable...which it is.

And no one should be surprised as HP invented wobulation, and has been in the DLP business (projectors) for a while now. And thats not even taking into account the good reviews in Oct. Sound and Vision and on AVS forums. The only sets out there that can run with the HP are the Qualia and the Sony SXRD. The Qualia is $13,000 and only marginally better. The SXRD is similarly priced and may even have a slightly better picture but will not take a 1080p signal over HDMI which does not matter a lot right now but will be a crippling feature for many over the next few years thanks to home theater PCs, playstation 3, external video scalers and possibly Blue Ray.]]>Oct 27th 2005 1:25PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2005/10/27/home-theater-best-of-show-hp/http://www.engadgethd.com/2005/10/27/home-theater-best-of-show-hp/

It's quickly gained steam (800+ posts) as most new TV's do. The difference is that everyone that's getting it seem to love the TV. Cabinet, design, ALL front hookups, great picture, tuned out of the box, features, design consideration for regular and HTPC usage. It appears to be a killer TV.

Time will tell if bulbs start popping, but it's been one of the more impressive threads I've followed over there. You don't get much more critical than the AVSFORUM members and there's been very little b**ching.

Wobulation chip resolution 1960 x 1080 (can we say horiz. interlace)
SXRD/LCOS = 3 chip displays
DLP = 1 chip with a color wheel. (look at all the pretty rainbows!)
And 800 people posting on AVS (I do like the place) only means that they have opinions, not the experts test results. I'll give you an example...ask 800 Bose speaker owners how they like their speakers... Most will tell you they are the best...the reason is they now the name and bought them with out fully looking at their options...Same applies here.
I do not have access to the HP set at this time.
I do have a Qualia projector, Qualia Rear PJ,SXRD RPJ, some LG DLP junk, Pioneer Elite plasmas to play with on a daily basis. Oh and 16 years in the TV service/sales business. Even an SXRD set is only OK next to the Qualia. Yes I have put them side by side connected to the same source with the same type of cables, I needed to find out if the set is worth the money. It is. Plain. As for the turbo comparison, as an STI owner I think you need to spend some time in the forced air forums before......blah,blah,blah you get the point.
