Part 4 of a story.

In the past three segments, starting with HDTV Quest: The Road to Insanity, followed by HDTV Quest: The Sequel, and finally HDTV Quest: The Never-ending Story, we covered a whole lot of HDTV territory. (http://www.extremetech.com/article2/0,3973,1119467,00.asp)

PQ was impressive, especially for a store set. AMAZINGLY lightweight, I actually lifted an end with one hand. A custom matching component shelf base is avail. Very cool set, no rainbows.

Now available in 43" (HLN437W), and 50" (HLN507W) at CC

That's the tv I want, the 43 inch one. Have to wait a while though. Still too much money. Wonder how quickly they will come down in price, and I wonder if any other companies are going to make tv's with DLP technology. Can't hurt to have some competition.

Several companies are making the technology. Samsung is the first with an attractive product at a reasonable price.
