I've seen both the JVC and Philips LCOS sets. The Philips looked horrible. It had more rainbow effects than ANY DLP I've looked at. The JVC looked pretty good, but black level/shadow detail was inferior to DLP. This is no trivial matter; dark scenes on LCOS sets are a problem.
I like most DLP sets with the HD-2 or HD-2+ chip, but the picture still looks a bit plastic and artificial compared to CRT sets. The Samsungs are quite a good deal, but the picture does not compare with more expensive sets like the SIMS set, for example. I understand that some manufacturers will be coming out with ultra-thin rear projection DLP sets (7" depth on a 50" set). My guess is that they will have to rely on a curved mirror. If depth is a concern, I would wait to see how these sets look.
Good luck.
