`
`Rear Projection HDTVS
`
`Panasonic announced availability of its 200? line of microdisplay
`rear projectors. All models are now using 3 LCD panels rather
`than a single DLP chip. The big news is the “LIFI” projection lamp
`that provides almost
`instant on (about 10 seconds) and very
`long life. Conventional UHP type lamps used in all other lamp
`driven rear projectors require up to sixty seconds to reach full
`brightness.
`
`Panasonic back the long life claim with a 5-year warranty on the
`lamp. Here are the features of the ?20p LC><?0 series and the
`1080p LCZ?0 series. The LC><'r‘0 models are available 56” and 61”
`screen sizes. The LCZ?0 HDT\-ls will be available with 50”, 56”
`and I’-Tl” screens.
`
`As with the plasmas, CableCARD is not offered in any of the rear
`projectors.
`
`Additional features of the LC><?‘0 Series include:
`
`- LIF1 Light Source

`I have a small living room and won't be purchasing a surround

`sound system for aesthetic purposes.
`I was wondering how

`
`the ?5u,n'77u,F?'EIEIu compare to the 6DDu as far as sound
`quality. There were some great deals to be had on the 6DDu a
`couple of weeks ago(~$1,2DD), but it appears as though We
`waited too long and these deals haye passed. Anyway, I have
`read that the ISDDU had wonderful sound compared to the Emu
`and EnDu.
`I would appreciate your insights.
`
`I test one against a EDI].
`I have no way to know until
`According to Panasonic] will be getting a panel to test soon.

`
`Hey, the prices on the SD" and SE!" PZ7UUU plasmas looks to be
`excellent. And if that's MSRP, then it should be even lower in
`stores. And if prices fall oyer the course of this year like they
`did last year, these things are gonna be dirt cheap by next
`February!
`
`if Panasonic is pricing things this low, how
`I’m also thinking,
`low will it force bargain brands like \.-lisio to go?
`Its top-tier brand prices drop, the dollar gap between tier
`one and tier three brands (such as Visio, Maxent, etc.) will
`decrease. So the question really is: how many dollars do
`you need to save to settle for a tier three flat screen's
`perfurlllallce alld short history? Will
`the brand still be
`around in two or three years if you need parts and service?

`
`I also noticed that the TH—5UPZ7UUU’s MSRP is oyer a thousand
`bucks less than what Panasonic’s own TH—5DPF9UK is going for
`eyen at bargain stores, and that's an industrial model without
`speakers or HDMI by default. Can we expect
`to see an
`immediate and massiye drop in the TH—5I3PF9LJK’s price when
`the TFDDU comes out?

`
`I decided to go with SCI” plasma and I narrowed my choices
`down to these three. Samsung HP—S5U73 and Panny TH-
`SDPXIBDDU are last year top line models, while Hitachi PSDH4-D1
`is this year model and has 12EIDx1DElD resolution. Does this
`resolution gives it adyantage oyer the other two?
`
`I will be sitting about 11-12 feet away from TV.

`How do these three compare in terms of PQ and which one
`would you pick?
