Matt,
Thanks for the reply. It is really tough to understand what the picture / viewing difference between all of the technologies out there is. Contrast ratio muddles things especially when you have Samsung talking about the 10,000:1 on their new DLPs. Add mentions of SED and OLED in there, coming down the pipe, and what is someone looking to buy a nice TV supposed to do?
The reason why I am going 1080p which I think will also drive a lot of other folks is the imminent release of the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3. MS and Sony both claim they will be able to do 1080p (we'll see of course) on those consoles. A bunch of want our gaming experience to be in "ultimate hid-def". If we can watch TV and movies that look good to even better.
Are you going to be at the SF Engadget meetup tonight?
