Samsung HL-P5063W


Stillllll looking at HDTVs. Went to Circuit City today to see the new TI HD3 chip in the Samsung 5063W with the seven-segment color wheel. Subjectively, blacks looked blacker but I could not get a salesman to play a DVD with low contrast (dark) scenes. The store lights were also blazing away.

Has anyone seen the set under better controlled conditions? As a bonus, the set is now only 14-inches deep! Pretty good for a 50-incher.

The Samsung HLN sets use the HD2 chip.

There will be a new series of Samsung sets, HLPxx77, scheduled for release later this year that will use the HD2+ chip.

The HL-Pxx63 sets use the HD3 chip. Just as importantly, the HL-Pxx63, and the forthcoming HLPxx77 sets, use a 7 segment color wheel versus the older 6 segment color wheel in the HLN sets.

FWIW, I have a Samsung HL-P5063. It has operated flawlessly and has great PQ.
