    Has anyone experience with DLP rear screen projection tv.s

    Ive read the tech babble on www.dlp.com and it claims a way better picture than lcd and plasma - no screen burn and zero motion blur.

    is this all true? if anyones bought/seen a DLP TV in action - can they rate it against plasmas or other lcd tvs they've see.

    cheers

    My brother bought the LG 44" one from TV & Video Direct for 1,840 euro delivered.

    The picture is stunning and compared to one of the Plasma 42inch ones I had seen (I think a Samsung) the LG was far better. Factor in the cost of replacing the bulb after a few years.

    nice. do you think anything bigger than a 44" (say a 50") would reduce picture quality?

    Theres no screen burn in on RPTV, DLP or LCD.

    You should go and have a look at a set as some people see a "rainbow" effect while watching DLP screens. This is very distracting.

    And www.dlp.com is not a good place to be reading up about this stuff. Try find an independant source. www.avforums.com would be a good start.

    cheers Ciaran. Spent the day looking at the forum. Seems DLP has a tendency to cause the odd person a headache or two.

    Ive been thinking of getting this whale of a yoke

    seems to have gotten some pretty good reviews in the forum. Will give it some futher thought

    Haven't seen any rear projection DLP tv's down here that are Hd Ready. Went to Newry to have a look at a Sammy 50 inch. Herself didn't like the design more than anything else. Still think they suffer slightly in that you have to be at a fairly front on angle for the best picture ( some side angles and you can't see much compared to a crt ). Haven't said that they are far better than what went before. Currys had the Sammy for 3000 stg. Seen it on UK websites for 1900 stg. Troble then is organising delivery. That place unbeatable.co.uk quoted me 200 stg to deliver to Dublin.
