Unless they push real hard into the home theater market and make it cheap enough for Joe Consumer, the rear-projection market is going down like a Titanic going out of business sale compared to flat panel sales this year and next.]]>Jan 10th 2007 7:49PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/01/10/ti-pushing-to-get-dlp-in-your-cellphone-local-cinema/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/01/10/ti-pushing-to-get-dlp-in-your-cellphone-local-cinema/
Rainbows turned me off big time (still see them, even of the newest stuff), the picture just doesn't seem that good (I like the LCOS stuff better), and TI seems to be acting like Apple (very arrogant about it).]]>Jan 11th 2007 1:08AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/01/10/ti-pushing-to-get-dlp-in-your-cellphone-local-cinema/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/01/10/ti-pushing-to-get-dlp-in-your-cellphone-local-cinema/
Another thing I've also found amusing is that most so called professional reviewers exagerate extremely slight differences between sets just so they can "delcare" a winner when in reality, you either can't see the difference, or you'll never remember the difference when the TV is in your living room. The only time most consuemrs can emember a diffence is if they are comparing the absolute bottom of the HDTV market with the top of it and realistically, that's not even a fair comparison (gee, my Jet airplane is so much faster than your ultralight aircraft!).

Although it is true I own a DLP TV, it's primarily because I usually shop in the upper middle market, so I prefer the DLP TV's because they generally have smother edges and better blacks at the mid to upper middle price point, but that's just my preference yours may be different.

Regarding the folks who claim they can see "rainbows" in the old DLP TV's; based on my experience, I think that is hogwash. I've had these folks in the store claiming they could see the Rainbows, but when I tried to get them to point them out, not even one could successfully see it; there response was always well I've seen it, but I just can't see it today or I just can't see it with what's on now. I've always chalked this up to psychology; if someone tells you they see something some folks are inclined to see what they've been told to see. The old adage, if you look hard enough for something, sometimes you can convince yourself it's there seems to be true.

When I was selling sets, I always ended the sale with the statement, if you can't see a difference between Brand X and Brand Y then from your perspective there is no difference, buy the one you are comfortable with. ]]>Jan 15th 2007 1:10PM
