The Panasonic DLP 52" TV, list price $13,000 was the most impressive thing I saw at the CES show. Did you see it at the Panasonic booth (it was a 3 million dollar display area)?
It was next to their other HDTV TV's, and with the same signal it completely outclassed the others in detail. I was amazed.
Apparently DLP is available in a Hitachi 55," but I did not see that at the show. DLP is a Texas Instrument design. If Mitsubishi won't upgrade my TV like their ad implies, I may sell it and get the Panasonic (or the Hitachi) even though it is smaller and more money. It is 19" thick.
Just wondering if anyone is familiar with this technology.

I haven't seen the Panasonic.
The single color wheel designs, from what I understand, have problems in that when objects move quickly across the screen, there is artifacting that occurs because the color wheel and mirrors can't interact quickly enough. The three color designs would not have this problem but are very expensive. When I viewed a Runco DLP projector not long ago, I did notice some of this effect and for $17,000 I'd never want to see anything short of "amazing". On stills or non-action images, it was beautiful...and there are NO convergence issues.

  I was watching a moving image on the set, and did not notice any movement artifacts. It was crystal clear compared to the standard HDTV sets. This is for a RPT model. Also I was not specifically looking for movement artifacts, but I think I would have noticed them because everything was so clear.
  I did not look at any projectors, so I cannot address what they are like.

I have not seen the DLP equipted tv's but I have seen DLP's state of the art projector at the new "Design Center" at Magnolia Hi-Fi in Seattle. I have not seen anything that could compare. The picture was not film like, it was better than film! At $110,000 I don't think that I will be buying one in the near future but anyone who does will be very happy.
