lip sync

[zepaholic]

I am about to pull the trigger on a new Samsung HL-R5668 1080p and have been reading tons of stuff about lip sync problems. My question is will my Yammy 2500 be able to make the adjustments to correct this. Has anybody else heard of this problem or what can be done about it.

Yes, the Audio Delay on the Yamaha 2500 has a range of 0 to 240 ms, which is more than enough for the delay introduced by digital displays (for example, in my BenQ PE8700 projector it is around 50 - 60 ms).

I am looking at buying a Panasonic TH-50PHD7UY 50" plasma display. Are the delays on a plasma display similar to projectors, less, greater, or not an issue?

The Delay in the video signal is a result of the upscalling (or downscalling) performed by your TV. This happens in any HD set whether it is a plasma, LCD, rear projector, front projector, etc.
You might find little or no delay when you are viewing program in the native format of your TV. (i.e. HD cable in 720P). However, the amount of delay will be greater when it has to downscale a 1080i signal or upscal a 480p or 480i signal. The amount of delay will depend on the performance of the scaller in the TV.
