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
I saw the SXRD Sonys at Best Buy.
This is the set I'm buying (when I can).
I suggest purchasing the extended warranty as the demo 50"
unit already had some "dead" pixels (black spots on the screen).
Damn good picture, however...
