Re: Mistubishi 57732 & Samsung HL-S5679...DLP Bulb vs. DLP LED

64.136.26.226

DLP has a viewing angle of 170 degrees, the same as Plasma. LCD is 160-170 degrees, LCoS/D-ILA and CRT are 180 degrees. I have no idea what you mean by "the dark corners at 30 degrees". I have not seen this or read anything about it. Also, the newer Samsungs have been some of the best calibrated sets out-of-the-box and are very accurate after calibration.

LED backlighting will eliminate any rainbow effect that the DLP may have had, it will eliminate the need for lamps, it will eliminate the color wheel, it will increase the number of colors, it will increase blacklevels and the contrast ratio. Rear projection LCD and LCoS/D-ILA/SXRD will also be using LED lighting.

I have not heard anything about LASER DLP. That would seem to be far too expensive and not very feasible. I'm betting he's confused and it's LED lighting that he's talking about. You should look into the new SED (Surface-conduction Electron-emitter Display) technology, it should be the best of just about everything and the picture should look very similar to a CRT TV. Toshiba is supposeitly(?) going to have one available this year. Also, OLED (Organic Light-emitting Diode displays), PLED (Polymer Light-emitting Diodes) and LEP (Light-emitting Polymers) are said to be coming and will replace LCDs.

You may want to think about getting a 720P Plasma and waiting another year or two for all of these different technologies to settle out?
