Line doubling? Thats not what DLP does though.. DLP doesn't even use fields. It uses solid images.. It's a completely different type of chip and nothing is even like it. I mean, it's pure-progressive scan.

what if one already had hd in their area. would the 1080 LCD be best then or is it fairly close?

It's not generating anything.. It's just a completely different style of display. It's takes a broadcast 4:2:2 signal and allows for much more chroma and luma imformation. Very similar to how a 3CCD chip works. It looks worlds better than a 1080i feed on whatever you want to display it on. More lines of resolution doesn't mean it has more bit depth. It's the luma that changes everything, it's how we precieve color information in the first place. Besides, "High Def" 1080i is actually 960i, they just added more lines to it. So, HD isn't pure even in the first place. Interlaced Video can't even hold a flame to Progressive. The only problem with progressive is that it's hard to implement it into broadcast since it reigns supreme in the computer world..

so you're saying while dlp might be better, it still isn't practicle for todays TV broadcasts? even in hood HD areas such as mine?

huh?! tubes are out?? (boom07) since when?
I work for a large electronics chain and I see these TV's day in and day out. Last year I would have said DLP. It was hands down the best contrast ratio out there. It was bright and the color wheel rainbow wasnt too big a deal. But now there are many other LCD based TV out there that just kill the DLP's. The sony A20 series is the sh*t. As well as the new sony KDS-R50XBR1 SXRD based projo from sony. It comes in a 50 and 60 inch and has a resolution of 1920 x 1080. It is the best TV I have seen in person. The new samsung DLP's are a close second in my opinion. They are rated at the same rez of 1920 x 1080 but the sony just kind of pops from the screen. The samsung looks a little greenish. I'm sure I can fix that (I had to get into the service menu on last years because it looked green too). All in all you have to go to a store with people that know what they are talking about and look for yourself. But if you have any questions at all about any of the TV's, just let me know. I would be glade to help. (thumb)

Broadcast and High-Definition technologies are something I do quite a bit of work in. I don't know what the hell you are talking about but DLP absolutely slays anything on the market except for the ONE test loop of the 1080 pure-progressive. Moreover, DLP was and still is designed for a projector, it is only implemented into rear-projection style monitors. Since you work in a large chain you'd know that all your feeds run off one source and you just daisy chain the BNC's. That's how Best Buy and Circuit City do it. Talk about signal loss. Puttting two sets together in a place like that makes it nearly impossible to discern what is better than the next. If you want to get a legit comparrison go to a Tweeter, or "Sound Advice" for the southerns. They have proper signals for the monitors and designated media to display certain technologies. I don't care how nice the sony's are, your picture is only as good as your signal or the chip behind it. DLP Pure-Progressive is mathmatically and visually stronger than anything a LCD-TV can throw at it. Want to do a real comparison? Get two runco or infocus projectors, one LCD, one DLP. Play the same DVD back. The difference is staggering.
Just to get back to your original post txrxs, you said you wanted to use it as much for gaming/dvd playback as TV watching. Especially in that situation, I'd absolutely say go DLP.
I just got the 42" Samsung HL4266 DLP for my family room, bigger one planned for my future entertainment basement. But the Samsung DLPs ROCK right now. The 1080 versions are superb. The spinning color wheel thing is no longer a factor. The TV is light, low-glare, good viewing angle, and crisp. Great contrast as well. The 42" is only 720, but for the price (I got it for $1800 after $500 off at Circuit City, then another $180 gift card, then free delivery) and the size of the room, its perfect.
And with the xbox, it's heaven. HD channels all the way.

Obviously you've never put a ton of satellite feeds through a huge splitter. Hey, where did all my luma information go? Oh, I know, I lost it 30 feet ago.

so wait, you're saying my circa 1988 20" Citek tube TV isn't good. hmmm. back to the drawing board
