benjo Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 I'm not really up with all this but just wondering, are there any rear projection tvs that are 1080p (or even 1080i)? Seems sort of pointless to get a 720p tv when you can't make the most of the 1080 resolution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owen Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 The LG 70” LCoS RPTV is 1080p, so are the upcoming Sony SXRD RPTV’s. All HD CRT RPTV’s are 1080i. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pietro1503559499 Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 The JVC LCOS is 720p but I'm still curious to see it. JVC has released 1080p LCOS in the US but will it come here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StarDrifter Posted November 26, 2005 Share Posted November 26, 2005 What's the differenced between SXRD and LCOS? Which is better? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pietro1503559499 Posted November 26, 2005 Share Posted November 26, 2005 To me the biggest problem with these sets is being able to see a good demonstration of their capabilities before committing all that money. I saw the 70" JVC LCOS at HN and it was unwatchable. Presumably HN was happy with this demo though I can't imagine anyone buying the set. We are all waiting (well, lots of us are) for Sony SXRD but where will we see a demo that makes the most of its qualities? I can't imagine many suppliers will be offering in-home demos of a 70" screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I walked into HN and looked at every technology and every set. I honestly didnt see a thing that that I would want to buy. I cant imagine how they sell anything between the genuinely crappy flat panel LCD's that smear and the terrible feeds. Im trying to find a smaller electronics store that has sets on dedicated feeds.

pietro1503559499 Posted November 27, 2005 Share Posted November 27, 2005 Even if you do find one, to be fair you should buy it from them. But that might $2000 more. It's a dilemma. Anyone know the Sony store in Chapel St Prahran, and whether their demos are good? That might be the place for Victorians to see SXRD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StarDrifter Posted November 27, 2005 Share Posted November 27, 2005 Does anyone know when this will be released in OZ? And is there a 60" version of this - because 71" may be a little too big. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand that there's a model in the 60" range coming in the first quarter of next year. The specs for the 71" are now available online.

JandB Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 Saw one in the flesh down in Darling Harbour @ the Home Entertainment show. The picture looked stunning, although it didn't look perfect. Might have been the source, some Beyonce live concert or some crap :-)Already a grand down on RRP eBay That EBay vendor has dropped price again to $7,399 for what it's worth. http://cgi.ebay.com.au/LG-71-180CM-HD-RP-T...6QQcmdZViewItem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TwelveinchTom Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 :ph34r: Have been told today from HN still 7-10 days away from arriving in Adelaide, phoned LG they said could be up to 4 weeks no wonder they've stopped advertising them maybe have to look at an alternative.
