I just saw the MIT DLP rear Proj TV this last week and was blown away at how "smooth" the picture was. It really looked like film. There were no lines, but very small squares that became invisible 5 feet away. They were selling it for $12K, I think. I guess I'll have to wait.
DLP Rear Projection HDTV ???
I had the opportunity yesterday to view the new Mitsubishi HDTV rear projection unit with the built-in DLP chip. The picture quality was AMAZING. Unfortunately, so was the price - $15,000.00. I have been planning (until yesterday) to purchase either the Mit. WS-73907 or the Pioneer Elite PRO-710 this month. However, both of these fine units looked like garbage next to the new DLP Mitsubishi. The sharpness and detail of this new unit puts it in a class by itself (the only negitive thing, besides the price, is that black is not as dark as it should be - it has hints of grey in it). Does anyone know if and when the chip will find its way to other models and manufacturers? When that happens, the prices should become more "realistic" for many of us. Any info you may have on the subject would be welcomed. Thanks! Ken
