In Reply to: How does Sony KDP-65 XBR2 projection compare to DLP screens, or? posted by rich121 on April 9, 2005 at 00:27:37:
First of all, my display technology of choice is plasma. I own a 50" Panasonic 6UY and, in my opinion, no other current display technology can give the 3D/life-like presentation that plasma technology can. That will change in 2006, when the Toshiba/Canon venture in SED becomes available. It combines what are, in my opinion, the two best display technologies on the market -- plasma and CRT -- with full HDTV resolution of 1920x1080. Hopefully they don't fuck up the game by not offering 1080p input -- not just capability -- like nearly all of the manufacturers of the current 1920x1080 resolution displays have done. Completely asinine.The only two problems that I see with plasma at this time are screen resolution (1920x1080 is not yet available under 70", but by Q4 2005/Q1 2006 that should change) and size:$ ratio (compared to other technologies like rear projection CRT, LCD and DLP). This last aspect will change slightly, but will never get close enough for many people -- their loss.
That said, if I had to get a non-plasma display I would get one of the newest Sony RPLCD models, but only the XS or XBR versions. The WE models suck elephant head. The other brands of RP LCD don't impress me (although the Hitachi models are acceptable) and neither do any of the RP DLP displays. While RP CRT is a choice, there are too many compromises with that technology that I have not had to put up with using a fixed pixel display to want to go back to the hassle. Sad, but true.
That's probably not what you wanted to read. But it is my honest opinion and one based on tons of reading, research, question asking and in-person viewing of all of the above listed technologies.
