That is about two an a quarter years.

Then what? I bet that fancy LED array is pricey.]]>Jul 18th 2006 2:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/07/18/samsung-finally-ships-their-hl-s5679w-led-dlp/http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/18/samsung-finally-ships-their-hl-s5679w-led-dlp/Jul 18th 2006 2:54AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/07/18/samsung-finally-ships-their-hl-s5679w-led-dlp/http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/18/samsung-finally-ships-their-hl-s5679w-led-dlp/

I'll take a 2nd gen LED(Sam)/or laser(mits) no-color-wheel light engine, and a non-wobulated 1080p DLP chip, with at least 3 HDMI inputs, 3 component, tuner with cablecard 2.0, and using the "Let it Wave" method for all upconversion(introducing insignificant delay). DVR in the software of the set, hard drives are user added via firewire and are not included to keep costs down and sky as the limit. 3 tuners at least, LG chipset for superior OTA reception. Form factor of the RCA DLPs in that thin enough to mount on wall.

Dreaming I know, I would warn anyone in the market to not read avsforum. You will wait forever...just go to the store and look at what looks good to you. Then search avsforum for that model, if no one is making to big a stink about it (and there are a bunch of whiners) go buy it.]]>Jul 18th 2006 9:44AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/07/18/samsung-finally-ships-their-hl-s5679w-led-dlp/http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/18/samsung-finally-ships-their-hl-s5679w-led-dlp/Jul 18th 2006 9:46AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/07/18/samsung-finally-ships-their-hl-s5679w-led-dlp/http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/18/samsung-finally-ships-their-hl-s5679w-led-dlp/Jul 18th 2006 9:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/07/18/samsung-finally-ships-their-hl-s5679w-led-dlp/http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/18/samsung-finally-ships-their-hl-s5679w-led-dlp/I don't think any HDTVs will have hdmi 1.3 compliant inputs until next model year. HDMI 1.3 wasn't standardized until just last month. The press release is dated 6/22/06.

NNTPgrip:
I didn't think this generation of DLPs was wobulated.

But you are right: avsforum.com will drive you mad sometimes. You would think the 37" Westinghouse LCD was a tool of the devil by the way it's derided over there.

I would just take a non-wobulated rear-projection that accepts 480i, 480p, 720p, 1080i, 1080p over HDMI with either a Gennum VXP or Silicon Optix chip built in. Is that too much to ask? Please put an end to the DLP macroblocking in my life: action scenes on my 46" Toshiba plus the Oppo 971 end up looking like sh*t sometimes (no jaggies though).]]>Jul 18th 2006 11:56AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/07/18/samsung-finally-ships-their-hl-s5679w-led-dlp/http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/18/samsung-finally-ships-their-hl-s5679w-led-dlp/
The "green blob" effect is seen in LCOS, not DLP.]]>Jul 18th 2006 12:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/07/18/samsung-finally-ships-their-hl-s5679w-led-dlp/http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/18/samsung-finally-ships-their-hl-s5679w-led-dlp/
