Before anyone buys the single-chip Samsung DLP, they absolutely must go to a store and watch the screen for as long as they can.My wife and myself both got eye/headaches after 10 minutes, and several of my relatives and friends reported the same thing. This is a somewhat frequent, known side effect of single-chip DLP on SOME people, but you don't want to find out AFTER you get it home...

Must be a genetic thang. ;-) Seriously though, I'm glad you broght it up because I'm really leaning toward a new Samsung (next generation later this year). I'll be sure to bring my lawn chair and park myself in front of the screen for a good while before I make a final buying decision.
I have owned a 61" Samsung DLP (gen 2) for about 3 months now. WOW! I am still in awe, and so is anyone who comes over to watch a movie, or some HD cable. The only time I have noticed some eye strain is after gaming on it, or using the PC mode for extended periods of time. I did camp out in the store when replacing my 60" standard rear projection, and it was the hands down winner against every other set I saw. There were many other reasons as well, besides the superior picture quality, that I settled on this display. It pedends on your needs, but as the center peice for my multi-media wired home, it was the only set that worked on ALL counts.
