I'm waiting on this as well, the supposed < $2000 Intel LCOS displays they predicted for the 2004 holiday season. If nothing materializes I'll look into some other RPTV, but this sounded rather promising.
Here's a link to one article.
OK, that didn't work. But there's lots of info if you keyword seach Intel LCOS on Yahoo.

Competition is always good.

Hopefully we'll see a price drop in TI's overpriced DMD chips. Are they just direct views/RPTVs or are there projectors planned?

Though the technology has been problematic in the past, the company believes it has overcome the necessary challenges and can mass produce low-cost, high-quality LCoS chips for HDTV. The initial chip will have a resolution of 1280x720, with plans for a full 1920x1080 chip to follow quickly thereafter.

The biggest advantage to the chip, however, will be price. Intel's manufacturing capacity, together with commoditization of components, should allow for high definition televisions in the 40- to 50-inch range that cost less than $2,000. You won't be able to go buy a TV with "Intel Inside" just yet, though. The chip is just now sampling to manufacturers, will be shipped in quantity during the second half of the year, and may appear in a few televisions just in time for Christmas.

Yeah, there hasn't been any info since January. If I can get a 3-chip LCOS set for less than $3,000 within a year, I'll wait. Otherwise, it's LCD RP for me.

3 Scotts here...
