DLP rear projector recommendation please

I just saw the 70" Sony SXRD (their proprietary version of LCOS) RPTV at CEDIA. The source material was 1080i from a blu-ray. Incredible detail, low video noise, very little obvious motion artifacts, beautiful color, pretty good black level. In short a fantastic picture, that bests anything but the most exotic machines. Aside from a Sony G90 CRT front projector, a Faroudja D-ILA projector ($42,000), the Sony Qualia front projector, this was my favorite display device at CEDIA. At $10,000, nothing approaches this set. The 82" Mitsubishi LCOS set was also displayed at CEDIA. It suffered by comparison, primarily from poorer black level.

The 61" DLP set that is only 7" in depth was being shown by In-Focus (RCA was showing their version, which is identical). I was surprised that it had reasonably good focus at the edges, given that the beam must be hitting the edges at an extremely oblique angle. My only concern was that, with the material they were using, I saw a bit more of the "rainbows" than I like to see. Can't say if this was an inherent quality of this technology.

The Samsung HLP5085(with pedestal stand)looks nice , but Sony and Toshiba looked good also at CC today all on sale right now).

I was just about to make a decision today until I got the bug to go plasma with its crystal clear picture . Now comes more deliberation (of course double the price for plasma except for an open box 50' for $4,000+ (can't remember the brand).

I checked out both the Samsung and the LG models. Preferred the LG picture quality and color though they are quite close. Heard that the LG color wheel runs on synthetic ball bearings while the Samsungs use metal ones which tend to make noise over time...could be urban myth. Bought the LG 52" though I would have bought a JVC LCOS if they had them available in my area.

Thanks. I am into my third month with SAMSUNG 5063 (50" 3rd Genration DLP) The oddity is I used the DVDO-HD, so everthing runs through that; time and energy and "if it isn't broke...) has kept m from seeing TV without DVDO-HD. A easily fixed intereaction quicks, fixed by DVDO update, and it looks and functions great.

I am going to splurge for the $350+ for ISF adjustment ***** Any one do this on this set?? *****

Well, I am happy as I can be and even the changer looks good.

Thanks all.

I haven't done any extensive research and bought a plasma myself (Fujitsu, awesome), but side by side at Tweeter, the Mitsubishi was clearly the best. Better blacks, better fine detail. A quick look showed that; not sure how it holds up with fast motion, whatever.
