I don't know if I would call it a "breakout year" for LCoS, but there were 6 1080P rear projection LCoS sets on display. There was an LG that will go into limited distribution soon, two Sony models a 50 and 60 inch. (Keep in mind whenever you say LCoS in front of the Sony guys they say "Not LCoS, but SXRD"), and three models from JVC one in the 50 inch range, on in the 60 inch range and a 70 inch model. Note that I said range as I don't have my notes with me. All LCoS 1080P models looked good to me. Like I mentioned earlier, the only 1080P models that looked good were the HP (avail in 65 and 58? inch models), and the Optima 100 inch built in BigVizion. I will look through my notes and get sizes, pricing and availability info posted in the next day or two. I am running a little behind as I have my day job, jury duty, and am working on a streaming video of the following that will hopefully be posted tomorrow:
