Rear Projection LCD TV's. I have a "Techie" question.... since I don't believe any salesmen's pitch.There seems to be 2 different LCD technologies in use.
NOTE: I do not have a dish or cable. I watch "free" TV. I do have a DVD player. Video goes to a 10 year old Sony 46" rear projection TV. The audio signal goes thru a Yamaha AV receiver to get surround sound.
#1.) Samsung uses a single chip made by Texas Instruments. This single chip is responsible for the RGB - (Red, Green, Blue) on the screen. Looked at model "HLN467W" 46" screen.
#2.) Sony advertises its "3rd generation" chips. One chip each for Red, Green and Blue. Looked at model KF-42WE610. 42" screen
Both pictures are quite good. Some reviewers argue the "black" value isn't dark enough. Other reviewers argue these LCD chips are not "fast" enough to change making high speed action "blurred" or not crisp.
Is LCD too new? Does anyone really know?
Any experienced LCD information will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Follow Ups:
I mostly watch standard definition Over the digital Cable TV and DVD (via Bravo D-1 DVD Player; DVI at 720p) and have found the picture quality to be excellent. I am very satisfined with the internal electronics in the Sony.When deciding between these products, have the store display regular definition TV so you may see the TV's internal electronics at work (expanding the TV picture to fit the screen). This is an important aspect of regular TV watching. Some sets have very good High Definition pictures but crummy regular TV pictures.
Good Luck...
it's a rear-projection DLP, completely different technology than Sony's rear-projection LCD. Try looking through "Rear Projection TV" section of www.avsforum.com. Lots of comments on both TV's.I will tell you that both technology CAN look shockingly good with good DVD's, HDTV, good broadcasts.
Both can also look shockingly bad with poor OTA antenna, poor cable/satellite signal.
