I can't believe you guys all want a 1920x1080 big screen TV for video games.
Am I just getting old?

Spiffnme,
it sounds to me like you'll have a new tv in your house in a year-and-a-half?

That's the hope!
I think I might cancel my waitlist on the Denon DVD-2900. I'm going to want to take advantage of digital outputs into a new TV. The 2900 doesn't have DVI or HDMI...and I can't buy two new DVD players - Roger would shoot me!
I'll just have to live without SACD until then.
*sigh*

I agree with your thinking there. I was tempted to look a little more closely @ the 2200 or 2900, but with no digital video outs, it's maybe not the wisest long-term investment (if you plan on purchasing a dig display anyways).

I've been doing a lot of research on LCoS recently. I hear that the technology is eventually going to be cheaper than LCD Rear Projection, with better resolution and motion than DLP, all in a small footprint. Also, LCoS doesn't seem to have the problem with the bulb burning out. It's got a 80,000 life, the same as a CRT. It's an exciting time for toob lovers.

I too stayed away from the Denons for the lack of DVI and opted for a samsung HD-931. The picture quality was outstanding on the big screen in the store and it looks great on my old Sony 32". Now I am going crazy waiting for the big screen. LCoS sounds very promising.

Hi all,
LCoS has sounded "very promising" for years now. Maybe Intel can pull it off. But Toshiba just abandoned all its LCoS development and announced at CES in January that it's moving to DLP and introducing up to ten new models of DLP HDTV rear-pros later this year. Doesn't that tell you something?
I'm still waiting to see an LCoS demo that equals the snap, contrast, and blacks of the best DLP demos. So far, it hasn't happened.

Oh...sure Alan, rain all over our parade.
Bottom line...in a year or so I'll be watching a new 50"+ TV. Whether it's the latest greatest DLP, plasma or LCos has yet to be determined.

Hi Spiff,
Sorry if I was playing Mr. Cranky (I must learn how to do those little faces. . .). I think the LCoS technology is fascinating and maybe it will come of age quickly (now playing Mr. Upbeat. .). A few years ago at CEDIA I was marveling at the image from a DLP projector that cost $22,000. Look what's happened over 3 years.
