I did check out Magnolia Hi Fi in San Ramon. They did not have a Samsung unit, but were pushing a Pioneer DLP for about ... $5,000.
The Fry's Electronics in San Diego had sold out of 50" Samsung units, and has a wait list. They did have a beautiful 61" Mitsu DLP unit for ... $9,000 in their demo room.
But that was it for DLP units.
I do know of a Tweeters in downtown I may run by and see.
Side note:
The best bang-for-the-buck television I saw was a 60" Mitsu unit with built-in tuner for $2,700. That extra $1300 - could buy a DVD recorder, Progressive Scan DVD player or Dish HD receiver. (Perhaps all 3 if I do my shopping right). It's a lot more toy for the money. Crap!
I like the 'teckie' attraction of the DLP, but I may have to go budget unless something changes in the job situation soon.
