So I narrowed down my search to a Samsung HL-R4266W or HL-R4667W.
Both supports up to 720p.
Shoud I be concerned it doesn't support 1080i and 1080p(i know 1080p is still new)?
And how would that affect my HDTV experience in the future?
If you know of a good DLP TV for recommendation please feel free to suggest one. (around 42"-46" range).
Thanks in advance. |

rob,
You have a misunderstanding about supported formats.
Both sets are actually native 720P displays. This means they will accept any format and scale it to 720P. This includes 1080I.
There isn't a single network broadcasting 1080P and there probably won't be for many years. Sets with native 1080P displays are scaling input signals to 1080P.
I like the R4667. Bigger is better with HD. |

I'm looking at two Samsung DLP: HL-R5667W and HL-5677W. What are the pros and cons of these sets. I care more about picture quality and stability than features such as 2 tuners for PIP. Also phyical size doesn't matter since its going into a 20 x 20 room. This room also gets plenty of sunlight. Are there other sets I should be looking to buy instead? Thanks in advance for any information. |

I'd steer clear of DLP or RPLCD unless you do not mind spending 10-15% of the TVs cost every year or two for proj bulb replacement. Too many issues.
Find a decent RP CRT set save a bunch then with your savings in a few years buy an established fixed pixel technology. Otherwise go for a Plasma today if you have to have the few HD broadcasts available. |

Don't believe tom bong!
He's a ranting repetative idiot.
I'm not sure why he keeps repeating false information. It seems more like a self affirmation of his own propaganda.
He acts like he's on some kind of self appointed mission to save us from technology advances.
What a total moron!
Buy what you want, when you want it. |
