Pros: Value per inches, Color, Energy efficiency, No burn in, 3DTV ready
Cons: Bezel, Convergence,
Cons: Bezel, Convergence,
When I was in the market for a new display to replace my aging non high def rear projection beast, I had a list of requirements that had to be met for me to be comfortable with my purchase. At the time I bough my Samsung 67 LED DLP, the technology had been on the market two years and had proven it's self. LED LCD technology was still in it's easy infancy and prices were (and still are) sky high. Plasma was never a consideration because the display would be used as much as a PC monitor as it would be used for anything else.
Sure thin sets are cool, wow you can hang them on the wall! How many actually DO? DLP sets have anywhere from 14-17 inches of depth and that was much less depth than the previous 3CRT RPTV that it replaced. I was able to gain 7 more inches in screen size and take up much less floor space.
Color and black levels are fantastic as is the speed of motion and the feature set of the display.
I do have two gripes and they are both intertwined. The bezel is not strong enough which can result in convergence issues and I don't know anyone who hasn't had this issue with the Samsung DLP's (The Mitsu's do not have these issues) but Mitsu did not make an LED DLP and I was not interested in Bulb/Color Wheel DLP's. I decided I can live with less than perfect convergence for a set that meets the rest of my expectations and surpasses them.
