<font color='#000000'>Went to Circuit City again yesterday to do the LCD vs. DLP compare again. Spent a lot of time looking at both and came to several conclusions. One- The Sony LCD seemed to have a more consistent picture; both dark and bright scenes looked good. The Samsung DLP looked better than the Sony on bright scenes but (much) worse than the Sony on dark scenes. Flesh tones were terrible on the Samsung but the sets are not “set up”. Two- After spending almost an hour looking at the two I had the salesmen play a DVD on the Samsung. The result was disappointing as it was a definite step down from the HD feed. Not really surprising but the picture seemed no better than an (apparently) very well set up Toshiba rear (CRT) projector set.
This appears to be a new ploy at Circuit City, Best Buy, etc. Run an HD feed to every set so they all look great in the store. Than the unknowing buyer gets home, hooks up the cable and ....what POS did I buy.
The answer to why a $3200 set question above .... WAF, WAF, WAF, etc.. Oh, did I mention WAF! “Don’t want that monster set in MY den”. We can build a full wall bookcase around the two types of chip projectors. Can't do that with a CRT projector without knocking out an outside wall 12-inches or so. But I looked at the Toshiba for another 15 minutes or so and really enjoyed the more analog type picture. Need to rethink the sets again (where’s my hammer and saw).</font>
