Anyone see the new Mitsubishi 82 inch RP-Liquid Crystal on Silicon ? #WL-82913..
Talk about braggin rights, this is reported to be the largest mass produced RP set ever.. Oh yeah, it's called the Alpha.. As in Alpha male ?? Seems fitting..
So, LCoS.. Seems to be the way things are going ? Toshiba, Sony, now Mits..
Anyone heard good or bad things about this technology ? Would appear to have all the good of RP sets, without the bad.. And, no expensive bulb to replace every year.. (A little dig on the FP owners)
So what's the down side ? Gotta be one, right ? COST ??
LFE ! The rest is just details..

Don't lose hope just yet Craig, weren't LCD/Plasma screens about 20 Gs when they first came out? They're 1/2 or 1/3 of that now.
Of course if you wait 2 years, there'll just be something new out there. Better just buckle down and buy one right now.

That's ridiculous! Why pay $20k when you can easily have a 100"+ picture on a high quality screen if you go with FP?
I'd sooner buy a car than spend $20k on a TV. What is this world coming to?

LCoS is coming on strong though. So many more models coming out all the time. Has anyone ever seen one, or better yet own one?
I'm still a long way off from buying a new TV. Money needs to be saved up, and I'd still like to wait and see where all this new technology ends up. There are waaay too many different formats right now trying to replace CRT. And with HD-DVD on the horizon, I want to be sure my next TV can accept a full HD-DVD signal. (What ever that ends up being)
The longer I wait, the cheaper it will be, and the "safer" my purchase will be.

Hey, nobody said life would be a piece a cake.. Car, boat, house, home theater, ya gots ta spend it on something sooner or later..
But yeah, 20 G, that's up there somewhere, ain't it !
Still, I would rather shoot the s..t here about fancy gear, than mix it up like they are over at Technical Questions "Tube vs Solid State amps"... hahah..
At first, I thought I had tuned into CNN or Fox news.. That thead reads like a transcript from last weeks Calif gov depate ?? It's getting uuuuuugly again..
So, yeah, 82 inches of pure home theater bliss ! I'm there...
LFE ! The rest is just details..

LOL. Nice take on the tube thread. I'm interested in who on this forum you'd label as which candidate in that debate..
