DLP or LCD what do you think

The sony is not the same LCD technology as the samsung but a different technology similar to their Qualia flagship. I've seen them both. Both are very good. I believe the sony has better contrast. Your picture quality will most likely be more dependent on your source than which ever of these two sets you get. I personally like the sony and am waiting to get it at a more reasonable price (approx $2800-3000) than the $3600-4000 they go for at most authorized dealers.

Sorry for not reading your post with my glasses! The sony SXDR is superior to all the DLP sets that I've seen and I've seen nearly all the major consumer models. Samsung has a new LCD (45 or 46" to my best recollection)in their Time Warner show room that is spectacular but far more expensive than the sony. New LCD technology with LED light sources and new phospors are around the corner at some very fancy prices. For now I'd go with the sony as it is their first consumer TV in a long time that brings them back as the technology leader they were in the past (IMHO).
