I read an article last week on a gaming site that interviewed a Samsung exec

about their tv's & next-gen gaming. He mentioned that the new 2006 dlp

models will not need spinning color wheels because of some new tech they

came out with. I think they mentioned 1080p input support as well. I was

trying to find the original article but I'm blanking out on where I read it

originally.



Does anyone have any info about these new 2006 models? I was checking

online with no luck. I was planning to pick up the 50" Samsung HL-R5078W

1080p DLP this spring for my gaming & tv needs but I may wait if these new

sets come out in the fall.



edit:



I think I found the story link but I can't check to be sure because of the

websense blocking software that we have at work.



Link.

    Maybe they mean 3-chip DLP, which seems to be coming down in price.

    No it's not 3 chip DLP which still costs more than a car. Samsung DLPs come with either a 6 or 7 segment color wheel. Despite the best efforts to minimize the effects some people are still susceptible to seeing "rainbows".



    If Samsung has indeed found a better way sans color wheel then that bodes well for those affected by seeing rainbows (I'm not one of them) .



    I'll check AVS and see what they might be saying.

    I picked up a Samsung 42" DLP yesterday. In order to see the rainbows you have to whip your eyes across the screen very fast. This isn't something you'd probably do during normal viewing, but you might as you walk by the TV room, for example. Now that I know what to look for I can see these rainbows, but just normally watching the TV I don't see them.



    It's still a great display though.
