Fail. For 7k it better accept 120hz stereo 3d. Interpolated 120hz is just 60hz with fuzzy logic.
 
only if you open the back of the TV and stick your face in there while it is running... 🙂

I hear car engines can damage your body too if you stick your parts into the engine while its running.

It says 3D ready...those specs might be a mistake cause I've read that Mitsu is one DLP maker with 3D ready TVs.

I've seen 65" LCDs for under $2500. There's no way I would spend $7K on that set.

I think DLP last longer because you can replace the bulbs. LCD are great in the beginning but they start to lose brightness eventually die out.

Exactly. That's why DLP > LCD/Plasma in my book. And if you have an LED DLP, you can forget about the changing bulb part (at least for around 15 years).
 
By the time your LCD fades you can't honestly tell me you wouldn't want to upgrade. They last many years, likely at least 7-8 years if your a heavy user. We'll have holographic space tvs by then.

Actually LCD's stay bright trough 60-80 percent of its life. Plasmas tend to dull over time. The current crop of lcd's have 80-90 thousand hour ratings so they should last you till Oled scales.

There are no bulbs, it uses lasers. It also costs $7k because it uses lasers. 67" LED DLPs are more like $2000.
 
Guys, this isn't your Granndaddy's DLP (I thought this forum was supposed to be tech-savy), this is the new Laser DLP technology that we have been hearing about for the last 2-years. It is as thin as an LCD, with much darker blacks and something like a million to 1 contrast ratio. Instead of the bulbs it uses lasers.

It is really expensive because it is brand new technology and may replace everything else on the market until OLED becomes viable.
 
I just looked at the specs on it and it is actually 10 inches deep, so I guess it is not quite as slim as an LCD. I have always heard that it would be, so I wonder if the technology will get thinner over the next year, or if the previous info was wrong. Seems like 10 inches might be just a bit too large to hang on the wall, which would mean they would likely not replace other technologies. Just speculating...

Great, so in 15 years when we're all watching Super Duper Ultra High Def TV on our wall screens you can watch on your antique.

Unless they have also fixed the absolute shit viewing angles and brightness inherent in other DLPs, there's no way these things come close to touching LCDs. DLPs may offer the best picture, but only if you sit directly in front of it and in a dark room.

I don't know about you but most people don't want to replace their TV they bought for $2000 after 3 years. Most people keep their TV for 10 years or so or until it breaks.

LCD's fade rather quickly. Say 3 years if you used it daily 12 hours a day.

I had an LCD fade and looked washed out little over 2 years but I was a heavy user. YMMV of course.

I heard that it would, but then, I also heard they would be as thin as LCD's. So who know's, I can wait to go see one in a showroom.

It is like any new technolgy, very expenive at first, purchased only by the rich, but in a couple years it will be the same price as the LCD's and Plasmas (if Plasmas are still around). If they are better than an LCD for the same price, I am sure they will sell lots of them.

It won't. It's the same as any other DLP that uses bulbs or LEDs. Same display technology (the same as RGB LED anyway), only the light source is different. The colors won't be the same, but the viewing angles will be.

if you are paying 7k for a TV you are gonna want to and be able to afford a much better replacement long before that is an issue. That complaint is like saying that an overclocked CPU only lasts about 3 years before degrading and needing replacement, so its better to have a mobo thats is cheaper to replace the CPU on... its irreverent, 3 years down the line its all obsolete.

furthermore LCDs can have their bulbs replaced

furthermore some LCDs come with LED backlight so bulb lifetime is not an issue
