I had a 61" Samsung 1080p DLP and loved it. Upgraded to the 71 inch 1080p DLP model and while it too had a great picture it had a glossy screen that reflected any light in the room. It was like looking in a mirror. Then I sold my house and the guy who bought it wanted both TVs.
So at my new house I wanted to get away from any set that has that glare screen. Therefore the 73" 1080p DLP Mitsubishi caught my eye. But this is the worst set I have ever seen. HD looks like good SD and SD is painful to watch. So since I'm still in my 30 return window it's going back. I have no idea if I got a lemon and should try another one but I think I'll just get my money back. I don't know what the guys in the Mits 1080p forum are talking about when they say this s et is great.
So now what do I do???? Any ideas?? The new 2006 71" Samsung sounds pretty good but I don't know if it will have that darn glare screen and the new LED technology is a concern. I'd also have to limp along on a 25" until the end of June too from what I see as the release date.
Has anyone bought one of the new Samsung 2006 1080p DLPs with the LED technology?
I'm not sure what you mean by "1080p set." If you mean a set that displays at 1080p (versus sets that accept a 1080p signal), you might want to look at the Sony SXRDs. The screens on these sets have a matte finish that minimizes reflections. The biggest SXRD right now is 60", though (not counting the $10K Qualia), and it sounds like maybe you're looking for something bigger. A 70" SXRD model is expected in the fall.
