We lab-tested three new models--JVC's $3255 HD-52Z575, NEC-Mitsubishi's $3700 WD-52525 (both 52-inch sets), and Samsung's $3499 HL-P5063W (a 50-inch model)--and found a lot to be pleased about. All three sets approached or outperformed Optoma's OptomaTV RD50, which received our DW Choice award for rear-projection sets in last issue's 50- and 52-inch HDTV roundup. After our latest round of tests, Samsung's HD-ready HL-P5063W holds the DW Choice for its combination of superb image quality, rich features, and generous tech support."</i><br /><br /><img src="http://www.digitalmediathoughts.com/images/pcworld-rearprojection.jpg" /><br /><br />This make me even more excited about getting my Samsung DLP - apparently it arrived yesterday (finally - it's taken a month!), now I'm waiting for the cable company PVR and TV stand to arrive. :roll: Hopefully this weekend I'll be tearing down my setup and setting up a brand new one. :D

Congrats BTW. Be sure to get it calibrated for the best picture!

I've enjoyed watching it, and know you will, too. It's a great set.

:way to go:
