We're talking about compact light weight rear projection tv's here. The reviews I read on the new Philips LCoS sets were excellent. I saw one last week and it didn't quite live up to my expectations in comparison to the newest Samsung DLP (HLN467W)set which was excellent. You never know how well adjusted the sets are that displayed in most of the stores, often not very well. The 46" Samy set had a great picture compared to everything else in the store with only a 1/2" bezel around the screen and picture disappeared behind the bezel. It weighs about 70 lbs. and is 16" deep. The only problem was the price: $3800. Add an HDTV tuner and drop the price to $1000 I'd jump. It looks like that's where we'll be in the next two years. Even then I think the quality improvements will be steady for the next five years or so. I just couldn't bring myself to spend that kind of money today knowing in a year or so knowing better sets will be 1/3 or less today's prices.
