LCD or DLP?

Dawgbyte,
You must be thinking that I am talking about the first generation Sony SXRD rear projection tv.
I am not.
I am talking about the newest latest generation Sony KDS-R50XBR1 SXRD 50" LCoS rear projection tv.
Retail is $4,000.00, not $10,000.00 or higher.
Go to www.ecoustics.com.
In the upper right hand corner it will ask: What are you looking for?
Punch in: Sony KDS-R50XBR1
It will show you a complete listing of retailers and their prices, as well as reviews and customer reviews.
As you can see, it can be had for less than $3,000.00 DELIVERED!
Hope this helps.

Check this out.

Frankg: I've seen the link and will likely go SED in the future. I'm just waiting to see if they have to work out any bugs with the technology first ... Until then I'll have to suffer the Canon Realis.

It does look very promising, though, doesn't it?

SXRD is a LCos dispay. SED is not yet commercially available. And the first ones may not be over 36 inches, although promises of prototypes by years end at 55inch are flying around.

1. SED- Possible technology of the future. I was at CES and didnt get a chance to stop by the SED displays but heard they are pretty awesome. Not yet available, and probably wont impact the market at reasonable pricing for larger displays for at least 2-3 years.

2. Resolution and DVDs-upscaling a native DVD is an inherent problem for a HDMI connection. I would use component. This has to do with the color decoders on the display. It decodes a 480i/p signal just fine. And will decode a hi def DVD 1080i/p just fine as well. But an upscaled 480i/p DVD that presents itself as a 720P or 1080i upconverted signal will confuse the HDMI handshake and give a potential color decoding inaccuracy. This may not be true for every set in the future but is a very real problem today. The problem scenario is a regular DVD in an upscaling DVD player displaying to a 720p or 1080p display connected via HDMI.
