DLP or LCD what do you think

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).

LCD technology, IMO is superior to DLP. DLP sets can have color artifacts that LCD's dont. DLP uses a 'color wheel' moving real fast to get the colors. To me, that's sort of like the old 'passive matrix' color LCD in early laptops, whereas each pixel had to wait a short time to be lit. Modern laptops (and LCD TV's) use Active Matrix where every pixel is directly controlled.

That's the tech side - from the "eye test" LCD is clearly superior IMO.

Joeylawn3611, while what you posted is true for most affordable DLP's that use 1 chip. It's not true for high end DLP's that use 3 chips.

thanks I am always impressed with the brains and fast answers from the members at audiogon. thank you all. cj

Unsound, you are correct. But aren't those 3 chip DLP's ultra-pricey??
