    1080p DLP's around the corner

    I think one problem is cable and dish companies that do advertise "HD" content, but it isn't true HD. So people get disillusioned by the poor quality of "HD" that they are seeing. HD-DVD/BluRay will fix that as well as (hopefully) improving dish and cable HD quality. A good friend of mine...

    1080p DLP's around the corner

    Wrong. Allow me to repeat myself: DVDs are not true 480p. They are encoded on the disc as 480i. But would you want to watch a DVD at 480i? Not me. One benefit of a 1080p display *right now* is to deinterlace 1080i sources, which there are plenty of right now.

    1080p DLP's around the corner

    I bet within 3 years, we won't be seeing a lot of displays that *won't* do 1080p. Here's my reference for i vs p: I'm watching a football game in 480i. QB throws a bomb down the field. As the camera pans across the field to follow the ball, you can see the jaggedness of the yard lines on...

    1080p DLP's around the corner

    To me, the question isn't so much as when will we get 1080p sources, but simply 1080p (with proper upscaling) at the display. For example, we all know and love (to some degree :) ) DVD. DVD is 480p. But it's encoded on the disc as 480i. So to me, the importance of a 1080p *display*, is to be...

    1080p DLP's around the corner

    I just got a free edition of E-Gear (or something). Confirmed what I had heard elsewhere: All LCD RP displays are 3 chip. Most LCoS RP's are 3 chip. It's really only DLP where there's a signifant portion of 1-chip systems out there. And, you might not want to know this, but here's how...

    1080p DLP's around the corner

    I just read an article *somewhere* (maybe in one of the Sony Qualia set reviews) where they said that most LCoS RP displays use 3 chips. I think the more expensive DLP sets use 3 chips. I know that the JVC D-ILA sets only use 3 chip engines. And due to the slow response times for LCD, I think...

    1080p DLP's around the corner

    1080p LCoS is already here. The new Sony Qualia RP SXRD set. $13,000 though.
