New technology of TV that will lower prices by year end?
I thought I heard a couple months ago about a technology that will drastically lower prices on "plasma-quality" tvs b/c the semi-conductor cost was much lower or something...does anyone know what technology I'm talking about? I saw somthing in the NY Times about it but I can't remember the name of it or when it will hit stores...
Liquid Crystal on Silicon
Intel based LCOS TVs are supposed to come out in time for Christmas. Their picture is supposed to rival if not surpass DLP. Due to Intel's large semiconductor manufacturing base they are supposed to be able to produce the chip for much less than their competitors driving down the costs of high quality / low profile rear projection TV's by as much as a 1/3.

Can't wait!!!!
Who is the TV Manufacturer?
just saw the philips lcos
wasn't impressed with the black levels. they looked very blue compared to a crt. The one i saw also had some geometry issues on the top of the "letterbox" lines. everything i saw on the screen had a kind of "fake" look to it...not much depth to the picture and almost a tracer like movement. visible "rainbow" was noticable on any light part/dark part quick motion, or any time i moved my eyes. i'll get out of my vertigo from watching it soon. :p

In case you haven't seen it, looks like we'll have to wait until 2005 for the price reduction.
