For most people wanting a BIG screen they really do fit the bill nicely.  They are light in weight and the depth is not a problem for most, especially when most flat panels are not ending up on a wall anyway.  The past two years has seen very little R&D for RPTV which makes you wonder where they could be now if Sony, JVC, Hitachi. Panasonic, Pioneer etc had stayed the course. Early reviewers say the new Mitsubishi Laser driven RPTV provides the best PQ ever, that's EVER seen.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Andy Sullivan]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 24th 2008 11:25AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Samsung's 61-inch HL61A650 RPTV HDTV reviewed]]></title><link>http://hd.engadget.com/2008/12/24/samsungs-61-inch-hl61a650-rptv-hdtv-reviewed/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://hd.engadget.com/2008/12/24/samsungs-61-inch-hl61a650-rptv-hdtv-reviewed/</guid><description><![CDATA[Agreed - if Mitsubishi can get the laser tech down to where DLP is, price-wise, they'll have a very compelling solution. The idea that everyone needs a wall-mounted TV is absurd.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Erwos]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 24th 2008 11:37AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Samsung's 61-inch HL61A650 RPTV HDTV reviewed]]></title><link>http://hd.engadget.com/2008/12/24/samsungs-61-inch-hl61a650-rptv-hdtv-reviewed/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://hd.engadget.com/2008/12/24/samsungs-61-inch-hl61a650-rptv-hdtv-reviewed/</guid><description><![CDATA[Why was the HL-61a650 reviewed so late?  The HL-61a750 (followup model) came out last summer and is a MUCH superior model.  Even the prices listed for the 650 are actually more applicable to the current 750 model.  <br><br>It's like just releasing a review of the 2G iPhone today.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[JediMstr]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 24th 2008 11:29AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Samsung's 61-inch HL61A650 RPTV HDTV reviewed]]></title><link>http://hd.engadget.com/2008/12/24/samsungs-61-inch-hl61a650-rptv-hdtv-reviewed/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://hd.engadget.com/2008/12/24/samsungs-61-inch-hl61a650-rptv-hdtv-reviewed/</guid><description><![CDATA[Let's face it, RPTV's gets no love in the current world of flat panels.  No marketing, no press, no interest by the reviewing media. Which leads to no R&D, no sales, no promotion. The consumer is the loser in the end, they'll just probably never realize it.  ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Andy Sullivan]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 24th 2008 12:19PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Samsung's 61-inch HL61A650 RPTV HDTV reviewed]]></title><link>http://hd.engadget.com/2008/12/24/samsungs-61-inch-hl61a650-rptv-hdtv-reviewed/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://hd.engadget.com/2008/12/24/samsungs-61-inch-hl61a650-rptv-hdtv-reviewed/</guid><description><![CDATA[Wow.  Why was this reviewed so late?  And the list price the review lists is $1700?!  I just purchased an HL61A750 with the LED light engine, which is MUCH superior for $1450 from Amazon.  The HL61A650 can be had for $1250 these days.  Makes me wonder if this review got lost on someone's desk 9 months ago.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Jonded]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 24th 2008 12:13PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Samsung's 61-inch HL61A650 RPTV HDTV reviewed]]></title><link>http://hd.engadget.com/2008/12/24/samsungs-61-inch-hl61a650-rptv-hdtv-reviewed/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://hd.engadget.com/2008/12/24/samsungs-61-inch-hl61a650-rptv-hdtv-reviewed/</guid><description><![CDATA[I just scored a 50" Samsung 1080p DLP RPTV from a friend for $500. Sure, it's no Sony XBR, but it still looks pretty good.  Did I mention it was only $500?]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Galley]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 24th 2008 12:12PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Samsung's 61-inch HL61A650 RPTV HDTV reviewed]]></title><link>http://hd.engadget.com/2008/12/24/samsungs-61-inch-hl61a650-rptv-hdtv-reviewed/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://hd.engadget.com/2008/12/24/samsungs-61-inch-hl61a650-rptv-hdtv-reviewed/</guid><description><![CDATA[I actually got this set through new egg for $1080 about three weeks ago, shipped, no tax, I watch my fair share of movies, and sports, and did not see the problems they mentioned, apparently im not an videophile haha.  I agree this set was out along time and the LED is the replacement, strange, but i love this set and the value, i have an 18X30 family room and this was just big enough.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[kevin]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 24th 2008 10:45PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Samsung's 61-inch HL61A650 RPTV HDTV reviewed]]></title><link>http://hd.engadget.com/2008/12/24/samsungs-61-inch-hl61a650-rptv-hdtv-reviewed/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://hd.engadget.com/2008/12/24/samsungs-61-inch-hl61a650-rptv-hdtv-reviewed/</guid><description><![CDATA[I just purchased the 67" LED version (HL67A750) for $1798 with free shipping from Vanns.com<br><br>This TV is stunning.  They should do a followup review but use the 67" LED version like mine.  I don't know many 67" Plasma/LED panels under $2k with full 1080p, 120Hz, 3D ready, etc...]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[heavystarch]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 28th 2008 12:54AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Samsung's 61-inch HL61A650 RPTV HDTV reviewed]]></title><link>http://hd.engadget.com/2008/12/24/samsungs-61-inch-hl61a650-rptv-hdtv-reviewed/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://hd.engadget.com/2008/12/24/samsungs-61-inch-hl61a650-rptv-hdtv-reviewed/</guid><description><![CDATA[+1 on the HL67A750.  A fabulous beast at excellent price.  I've been living with one for about 3 months now and the only downside I have found to it is a slightly slow time changing sources.  But with a 50,000 hour life expectancy on the very bright PhlatLED light source (way to go, MIT !), amazing color gamut, a gazillion inputs, 120p  picture with motion interpolation for film, etc, etc... it is just stunning for the price.  You have to find 12" more depth than an LED or Plasma but heck it will still be as color accurate as the day it was unpacked 5 years from now, which is more than you can say about the LED backlight or the plasma.  And your speaker system needs that depth too, so the furniture ends up matching.<br><br>Yeah, RPTV is still a viable, competitive choice.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[ExLoony]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 28th 2008 7:36PM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
