wow. just wow.]]>Dec 2nd 2007 8:25AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/12/02/audioholics-looks-into-dlp-vs-3lcd/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/12/02/audioholics-looks-into-dlp-vs-3lcd/In a new age of flat panel sets that are not only decreasing rapidly in price and increasing in overall quality, RPTVs seem doomed in the "smaller" size diagonal set ranges under 61".
I get clients that would prefer a 58" plasma on sale over a 60" RPTV, even though the RPTV is half the price, simply because they can treat their plasma like their old CRT and the RPTV has a bulb that can burn out anytime (like during a game).
Until you get over 58" size (like the Samsung or Panasonic plasma panels) or maybe, the 60" Visio plasma (if that does it for you), RPTVs offer good prices vs. flat panels.
Try pricing a 65" LCD or Plasma panel or higher: It's still well beyond what an RPTV costs.
Since my 3LCD 70" Hitachi is no longer manufactured, I would have to wait for delivery on the newest Sony SXRD 70" (XBR5)or find a JVC 70", both RPTVs, to replace it since neither 65" (smaller in size by 16%) since no one makes the 3LCD versions anymore and I do not find the RBE non-existant in the latest batch of DLPs, either. (No,front projection will not work in my current location).
A 3-chip DLP would be great for maybe a 70+ (75-85" RPTV), but I think these 3-chip designs are either an expensive manufacturing process (for real) or something manufacturers just won't do.]]>Dec 2nd 2007 10:53AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/12/02/audioholics-looks-into-dlp-vs-3lcd/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/12/02/audioholics-looks-into-dlp-vs-3lcd/

I'm kind of annoyed at the "3LCD" term, LCD projectors were "3 LCD" long before they came up with that lameness. I'm not sure if it's possible to get acceptable results with fewer LCD chips. It's just lame marketing, and an attempt to pick on single chip DLP.]]>Dec 3rd 2007 12:52AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/12/02/audioholics-looks-into-dlp-vs-3lcd/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/12/02/audioholics-looks-into-dlp-vs-3lcd/Dec 3rd 2007 11:09AM
