At least for the time being. Too many faulty sets from what I heard.Toshiba LCoS: to be continued... maybe.
Follow Ups:
Did they pull the cheaper set they were showing at CEDIA this year? I know the prior, $9,000 version had a number of problems. I guess the track record for LCOS sets coming to market is pretty bad (RCA also failed). Somehow, I doubt that the $20,000 version by Mitsubishi will be leading they way in the market.Perhaps Sony can make a go of it. I saw their SXRD Qualia front projector at CEDIA. It looked very good. The demo included a lot of dark scenes which had amazing shadow detail. I am hoping their LCOS technology makes it to a RPTV in the near future.
All I read in the RPTV forum on AVS is that Toshiba pulled their LCoS stuff and there is no word if or when it will return. In the late Spring and early Summer, all I saw were posts from owners with convergence, scaler and various other display problems.When you put out a $9,000 display and the scaler from a $200 DVD player (Sigma Designs in the Bravo D1) gives a better picture compared to the one that the display scales, you gots problems!
.
I hope to see a solid implementation in my lifetime.I can't hack the blacks and shadow detail on either DLP or LCD yet - and I don't even see rainbows.
