I got the 42" PL4200N, 32" LC3200N and 26" LC2600N and they are VERY good sets. the PL4200N is manufacture by Matsushita Electric Co. {Panasonic} based on their PX500 Series., and the LCDs are made by Sharp.

The DLPs are manufacture in China by Coretronics, i'm looking forward to get the 65" version of this model. The Pavilion MD6580N, which has been rated as the best DLP set of 2005 by several publications, I've seen it and it's breathtaking, the picture quality is crisp and vibrant. Much better than Samsung, Sony and Mitsubishi.

All of the Pavilion TVs were stylish, the remote controls were very comfortable and easy to work with. It's a shame the good ones are gone., this year's flat panel sets are not only ugly Matte Black, but the features are very limited.

The LCDs don't eve have a computer input, which doesn't even make sense since HP IS a computer manufacturer... The plasmas are made by LG and the LCDs by Sharp in Mexico. They even drop the Marquee Pavilion name. Basically they are barebones sets.]]>Jul 3rd 2006 4:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/07/03/hp-pavilion-md5880n-1080p-dlp-tv-reviewed/http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/03/hp-pavilion-md5880n-1080p-dlp-tv-reviewed/Dec 21st 2006 3:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/07/03/hp-pavilion-md5880n-1080p-dlp-tv-reviewed/http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/03/hp-pavilion-md5880n-1080p-dlp-tv-reviewed/
but i've owned the MD5880n since November of 2005, i can tell you that the picture with an HD source is 2nd to none. HP being new to the projection tv arena seems to only have helped them think outside the box (no pun intended), as this tv has features that other tv manufacturers would never have thought of...

i'm not sure what the model names are of the new HP DLPs, but from what i've read the major change might be a switch from a bulb to LED backlighting. presumably much longer life before any maintenance, but possibly at the expense of contrast.]]>Jul 3rd 2006 6:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/07/03/hp-pavilion-md5880n-1080p-dlp-tv-reviewed/http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/03/hp-pavilion-md5880n-1080p-dlp-tv-reviewed/Jul 3rd 2006 6:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/07/03/hp-pavilion-md5880n-1080p-dlp-tv-reviewed/http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/03/hp-pavilion-md5880n-1080p-dlp-tv-reviewed/Jul 3rd 2006 7:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/07/03/hp-pavilion-md5880n-1080p-dlp-tv-reviewed/http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/03/hp-pavilion-md5880n-1080p-dlp-tv-reviewed/Jul 3rd 2006 8:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/07/03/hp-pavilion-md5880n-1080p-dlp-tv-reviewed/http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/03/hp-pavilion-md5880n-1080p-dlp-tv-reviewed/Jul 3rd 2006 11:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/07/03/hp-pavilion-md5880n-1080p-dlp-tv-reviewed/http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/03/hp-pavilion-md5880n-1080p-dlp-tv-reviewed/Jul 3rd 2006 11:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/07/03/hp-pavilion-md5880n-1080p-dlp-tv-reviewed/http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/03/hp-pavilion-md5880n-1080p-dlp-tv-reviewed/Jul 5th 2006 10:28AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/07/03/hp-pavilion-md5880n-1080p-dlp-tv-reviewed/http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/03/hp-pavilion-md5880n-1080p-dlp-tv-reviewed/Dec 21st 2006 3:33PM
