Back on track... more basics questions

[pixelthis]

You could be standing a mile away and we'd still feel your presence!

My boss just received his 25th anniversary gift from the company. A Samsug DLP with LEDS. They replace the lamp and the color wheel. Do you understand what I mean when I say DLP technology is evolving Pix?

As opposed to this:

I think the first picture I posted showed your method. My speakers are too valuable to me to just let one of them dangle from two shims. And besides, you're suggesting an illegal activity, so, no thanks!

And don't forget, I'm not a redneck I'm a transplant... from New Jersey. I hate the Dallas Cowboys. 'Nuf said.

Yeah, you can get a DLP with leds for a mere four grand, same performance as a thousand dollar lcd
Betamax was superiour to vhs in every way but it lost out. Why? It could only record for an hour and a half, and by the time they "fixed" this prob it was too late.
When DLP came out it was great, better than the crt sets out then and a 20in lcd ran about 2 grand.
But lcd got cheaper a lot faster than a lot of people thought, and you can HANG EM ON THE WALL.
Dont think this is important? Well if your tv was sitting on the wall placement of your CC wouldnt be a problem.
Jvc thinks its important enough to make a x-lia set that is thin and will hang on a wall,
but the geometric distortion is a problem
But the real reason hanging on a wall is important is that the WAF (wife acceptance
factor) goes away
As for your teevee, you need another stand two cabinets on each side with a bridge runing across for your CC, YOU'RE CURRENT STAND IS'NT built for the substantial CC you
have, and you're set is too thin to hold it on top, anything youi do to fix this will be a rig except to get a stand that can hold your CC
And dont misunderstand me, sometimes in this barbaric age we live in people with
faulty reasoning abilities confuse fact with opinion.
For instance DLP has a nice picture and a vidiot would probably not mind the shortcomings to have one, but the sad truth is that most either dont notice or dont care.
DLP used to have a size advantage but with 50in LCD coming out thats the end of that.
Its a fact that there is no advantage to buying A DIP set over a lcd, and a lot of stuff you have to put up with, and dlp might be "evolving" but LCD is evolving too, and a lot faster because its getting the most research because most think its the future, and they're right
even with front projectors three chip lcd is a tough competitor and thats not that big a market anyway.
I've seen this happen a million times rich but the current scene is amazing even to me, I never dreamed that LCD would take over this fast.
But it did, and if those who prize picture q over convience and style (and only a slightly
better pq) than dlp is gonna follow the crt out the window, no matter how fast it "evolves".
It was made for an age when the crt dominated, I had a 60in mitshu that looked like the
box the U.N building came in, but those days are over and nowadays a 16in wide dlp
is in competition with a 3 ince wide lcd that will last 20 years, doesnt need a bulb every two or three years at 200 bucks a pop, or have rainbow artifacts from a color wheel
that spins so fast it streaches the tech for electric motors.
Just dont shoot the messenger okay?

Dude, I know you feel the urge to defend the stuff you own, but c'mon...$4000? You can buy them for half of that.

The latest issue of either s&v or widescreen review quoted a price of four grand, and the picture didnt exactly blow em away.
But with a better sxrd selling for half that the big question remains why buy one?
PQ freaks will go sxrd or plasma, and the rest will go LCD
I grew up in a world where most catalogs had PAGES of turntables of all types,
I remember the laserdisc, elcassette , DAD, selectavision, betamax, and theres nothing special about DLP, indeed it has never acheived the market penetration of a lot of devices that couldnt cut it.
There are more convienent, cheaper techs out there and the picture looks just as good if not better in some cases, and more expensive tech for the pq freaks.
DLP has always relied on tricks to work, color wheels, expensive lightbulbs with the lifespan of a fruitfly, and, later on, "dithering" to get 1080p
Anybody that buys one is gonna be an orphan sooner or later.
There's just no reason to buy one

S&V's latest issue shows a price of $3199 for the Samsung "61-inch, top-of-the-line HL-T6189S." which I'm sure is MSRP. Your results may vary (i.e maybe $2999?) 61" is a lot of TV for $3K don't ya think?

Some more remarks from S&V online:

CONTROL PATHS The three HDMI 1.3 connections don't just bring you the deepest color possible; you can also operate your other gear through them via CEC tech. Bluetooth is onboard, for wireless headphone listening, too. Now if I could only sync my phone with this baby...

That reminds me. I haven't even listed all the cool features my TV includes yet, but if the 9mm still proves ineffective, I'll break out the big guns...

SO much misinfo on this thread from the clueless, so little time.
The set I was looking at uses leds as a light source, replacing the toxic mercury bulb.
The reviewer said the pic was a little dim.
AND I am not an LCD "fanboy" just in touch with reality.
AND you really are clueless about amps rich in your own mind, be surprized if your beemers last that long.
Most likely you only need a few watts to get loud output from your speakers, so why do ya need a powerfull amp? For transient loud passages, if your amp cant drive your speakers properly they will go into clipping, which is actually worse than overpowering
them.
You need a decent amp with a decent power supply, or eventually you'll have a bunch
of very expensive english built paperweights.
Yamahas are actually a good match for beemers, they have a halfway decent damping factor, something a lot of receivers lack, but yours is actually a bit puny.
In other words your system is like your teevee, looks good but no real guts inside'
OR as REAL Texans say "big hat no cattle".
Check out outlaw audio, never tried their stuff but its cheap and well reviewed, and the amps have real guts.
And if you dont know what a "pre-pro" (preamp procerssor) is you are truly headed for grief son

Speakers don't clip, amplifiers do. "SO much misinfo..."

No reason to shoot the messenger as long as he's got his facts straight...
BANG! You're dead.

This thread has not only lost its ability to educate but has also lost its ability to entertain.

I've proven Pix that you can buy an LED DLP TV for less than $2K which makes your statement incorrect. When you're willing to admit that you were wrong by posting words that state that fact here in this thread, you will regain my respect for you. If you can't do that then I'm afraid I no longer have any interest in what you have to say and that I'd like you to exit my thread.
