I have come across these two technologies while researching and am a bit intrigued. I came across the JVC HD56FN97, which is a 56" for $2250, 3 chip HD-ILA. It has 2 HDMI and 2 FireWire, which is good cause i do video work. Anyone know about the HD-ILA technology? I also read some a favorable tech report on LCoS from someone that posted a link here. It was compared very favorably with control room $45K CRT monitor sets used in studio settings.
And, how do i know if a set takes in 1080P...that is never listed in teh specs. Only utput of 1080P is listed.

LCoS, HD-ILA, and SXRD are the same thing. - Prisoners 06:08:36 02/07/07 (13)
It's confusing, but they are identical. JVC calls it HD-ILA and Sony calls it SXRD. "LCoS" stands for Liquid Crystal on Silicon, essentially it means LCD technology without the drawbacks of "lag time" or the "screen door effect" that standard LCD displays have.
- So...all LCoS (SXRD/PD-ILA) are rear projection? - dingo dave 10:54:10 02/07/07 (3)
  LCoS's technology requires that, i assume. Doesn't that make the XRB2s rear projection?
  I saw that SOoy you recommended while browsing on the internet last night. I took not of it...
  - There are some front projectors too, but mostly yes. (nt) - Jack G 11:49:32 02/07/07 (2)

        Sony has the Pearl and Ruby (# VW1000P), which go for $5K and $10K repectively. I beleive JVC has some DILA projectors in the $20K+ range.
        That's a bit out of my range, so I'm not 100% sure.

- So...XRB2 is an LCoS (SXRD) display? - dingo dave 07:24:02 02/07/07 (8)
  Just now finding that out. I was amazed at the picture on a XRB2 that i saw at a Circuit City. kinda back where i started.
  I need to find out if the XRB takes 1080P input.

    Not pushing circuit city, just an example.
    - found it - dingo dave 16:17:06 02/07/07 (2)
      best buy/circuit city have them here locally. 2100 at BB, 2K at CC. BB said they price match...which is good cause they have 36 month financing opposed to 12 at CC.
      - Does internet purchase negate tax? - dingo dave 16:20:54 02/07/07 (1)

        of course, i guess with online purchase there would be no tax, right? Maybe i should order the set online from best buy and do the financing online via Best Buy. That's $250 there i'm saving.
        
        you may still be taxed - Joe Murphy Jr 21:51:24 02/07/07 (0)

        If there is a Best Buy in your state, I believe they are obligated to charge you tax since they are doing same-state business with you.
        Most online vendor delivery charges for displays run from $150 - $300 (depending on weight, size of carton, etc). But even with shipping charges added to the price of an online non-state vendor purchase, it's still usually less expensive compared to the store price + tax (unless there's a special sale or clearance going on).
  - This year's SXRD will accept a 1080p signal. - Prisoners 07:36:01 02/07/07 (3)
    Again, it's not that big of an issue because the only current source that outputs a 1080p signal is a BluRay or HDDVD player. The internal scaler on the Sony SXRD is very good, and upscales a 1080i signal to a 1080p image very nicely.
    - terminology - Joe Murphy Jr 08:38:24 02/07/07 (2)
      They don't "upscale" 1080i to 1080p: they deinterlace 1080i to 1080p. Upscale generally means changing a lower resolution (ie, 480x720) to a higher one (ie, 1920x1080). Both 1080i and 1080p are 1920x1080 pixels, so there's no change in resolution.

        The SXRDs have better deinterlacers than upscalers, at least the '05 models do.
