The Samsung (74 or 85 series models) and Toshiba models are both good brands. Compare the features and of course the picture to see which looks best to you. I find the Samsungs look a little better. I have the Mits 62725 DLP which I absolutely love. It does have the glare screen but it takes 5...

The difference though is that not everyone sees the rainbow effect on DLP's. Screen door effect and/or silk screen effect on LCD's can be seen by everyone. Unless the viewing distance is very far away. Whether it bothers the viewer is a different situation.

Hey Ted, I originally got the 60" but had a hard time with the screen door effect and hard edged digital looking picture. I thought maybe it was too big for my viewing distance so I tried the 55". It was better but the screen door effect was just too distracting. I didnt realize how much better...

Its definitely not the viewing distance. I've got a 62" Mits DLP and I sit about 10 feet from the screen. Absolutely awesome. Even when I lean forward the picture is still beautiful.

The lag in video games is specific to the Samsungs 480i input. Not necessarily DLP. Motion blur and pixelation with HD material is most likely bandwidth issues. That'll be the case with any tv. Having had a Sony LCD 55XS955 and now a Mitsubishi DLP 62725 the picture quality is much better on the...

Ted, the XS series is the one to get. Properly setup its output is truly stunning. Check out the 55/60XS955 owners thread at "the other forum".

Any HD set won't display SD content very well. They werent made for that. I have the 55" version and it displays SD content much better than my CRT RPTV.

A good signal or DVD transfer will look phenominal on a microdisplay. But it works both ways as a bad signal will look worse. They're much sharper so they'll accentuate the good AND bad. I've got a Sony 55" XS955 series LCD RPTV and I've seen detail in DVD's that I've never seen on my CRT RPTV...

Viewing distance can play a part also as well as the display technology. Since the screen is much bigger it'll accentuate the good AND bad in the video signal. I went from a 56" CRT RP to a 55" LCD RP and although the picture is MUCH sharper and brighter I also see more flaws than with the CRT...

As far as mechanical complexity goes LCD technology has no moving parts (except for the cooling fan) and has been around much longer than DLP. More moving parts means more chance of failure. Compare flash memory to a hard drive. All hard drives eventually fail. I've had enough of them fail to...

Or you can get a learning remote with macros and set it up to switch through all the inputs automatically with one button press.

A large high quality display will bring out the good and also the bad in whatever you're viewing. Hopefully game console makers will incorporate anti-aliasing technology in their next crop of consoles if they haven't already. Going from a 56" CRT rear projection to a 60" LCD rear projection...

Elinor, what I see is the pixel structure or the effects of it. It looks like the screen is dirty or has smudges on it. Especially in lighter backrounds or peoples faces and such. If its a snow scene...forget it. For me its extremely distracting.

I just recently "upgraded" to a 60" Sony RP LCD from a 56" Toshiba RP. The reason I went with LCD technology was for a brighter, sharper, "digital", no glare display. The Sony covers all those things but the one thing I have a big problem with is the screen door effect. Coming from a smooth...
