Its LED engine with mirrors. It runs more efficiently. Less electricity and does not get as hot as ones with bulbs. The contrast ratio is awesome and its 1080p. Its also the size I want and the right price. LCD and Plasma are not the only options.
Damn thing sold out already.
They are too bulky.
O come on. 11 inches??? I'm not hanging it on a wall.
How much does it weigh?
I don't feel like looking it up but I'm sure you could pick it up.
I was looking into it also but the thought of having to carry them or losing floor space turned me off.
They are cheaper I must admit and they do look better than the rear projections of past.
I got rid of my 61'' RCA rear projection.....I gave it away to the first person willing to carry it out themselves.
It was too big and it didn't look so good anymore.
Its nothing like the old projections. They are dinosaurs.
That they were.
But why that choice? Is it the money?
I have heard lots of bad things about plasmas. I've heard good things about LCD's but they are expensive and I think this technology will last longer. A guy at my work here has the same tv and really likes it. I work in the broadcasting industry so everyone here knows what good video looks like and they he thinks it looks just as good as LCD's. Check out some A/V forums and research all the different technologies.
I forgot that was your field.
I think plasma failed because of their past, the newer plasmas are better....but it's too late.
Plasma lost the battle with LCD.

Choosing a Big-screen Projection TV
Rear-projection HDTV advantages:
Rear-projection HDTV advantages:
- Manageable size and weight: As mentioned above, the new breed of projection TV is much slimmer and lighter than old-school tube-based TVs. Still, many 50" microdisplay TVs aren't much deeper than a flat-panel TV on its stand. And surprisingly, microdisplay models can weigh less than a flat-panel TV with the same screen size.
- Sharp, vivid picture with outstanding contrast and black level: Microdisplay projection TVs can't match the deep black levels of tube projection TVs, but they can create much brighter images. And brightness and focus are spot-on from the screen's center all the way out to the edges, so the picture looks consistent from corner to corner.
- Not vulnerable to screen burn-in: Microdisplay TVs don't use a phosphor-coated screen, so there's no chance of screen "burn-in" from sustained videogame or PC images, scrolling news tickers, etc.
- Replaceable lamp restores like-new picture quality: The average consumer can easily replace the special high-powered lamp in a microdisplay TV in just a few minutes. The lamps typically have a rated life ranging from 5,000 to 10,000 hours, which works out to several years of normal use.
- Viewing range isn't as wide as for flat-panels: Microdisplay projection TVs are best viewed straight-on, because brightness, color, and contrast tend to look dimmer if you're sitting off to one side, or if you're standing up.
- Lamp requires periodic replacement: A replacement lamp typically costs at least $200.
The lamp and the side view were 2 reasons why we didn't buy one, another reason was that we wanted to mount the tv high on a stand and most of the projection tv's we liked came with a base that sat on the floor or would sit way too high on the stand we had our eyes on.....
There is the bulb engine and LED engine. LED's last 10,000x as long as the bulbs. The one I posted has the LED engine.
Well they didn't have them back when I was in the market so nyah
Anyway now I'm saving for my new laser diode hologram projection tv, you thought red/blue 3d glasses were cool just wait till I teach them how to make these babies....
wow .. nice.. Are you happy with your purchase, mino? I'm need to get one soon and have started to do some research on what to get. I'd love to get that 52" one but it would be too big for my apartment.
52'' at first did sound huge but now....it looks small.
Mind you I had a 61" rear projection TV so this looks sort of small now.
Take a look at them, you can even cut a box 52'' and place it on the wall to give you an idea of how it looks.
I'm happy but now I have to update my other componants, I thought my DVD had HDMI output and although I didn't really check but i was only getting a 460?? signal instead of at least a 760.
Honestly it does look a bit small in the pic. It doesnt look as big as a 52". But then yours might be a larger room.
Good idea! i'll try that. I spoke to a sales guy at a store and for my room he suggested 46". Similar to the online recommendations. My room is 10ft across, so given some space behind the tv and some behind the couch i would guesstimate that the distance between eyeball to tv screen is ~8ft. Not sure how good the resolution would look on a larger tv sitting that close.
hhmm.. i need to look into all that stuff as well.
The width across on that wall is a little over 9' at 112 inches.
The sofa is almost ten feet away.

Did you go to an A/V forum and get the optimal settings yet? There are geeks who post that stuff so you don't have to sit there and try to find the perfect contrast, etc.... I did it for all of my tv's and they get outstanding pictures....
Not yet, do you have the links?
