I was in Costco today and finally got to see this DLP. It was the RD50 and all the guy did was plug it in out of the box. No adjustments and I swear it was the best DLP picture I've seen and I've seen a lot of the most current generation DLPs. The Optoma beat them all and it's only a HD2 chip. I'd heard about this HDTV but had never before seen one. I can't wait to see their HD2+ product.
I have been thinking about this one as well. It is so hard to find a nice big screen. Seems like they all have major problems. Every brand has problems. Is now not the time to buy.
Indianspringsaz, I agree. I'm waiting too. I want to see what the new Optoma with HD2+ chip looks like. I'm also convinced that the quality of the other parts in a DLP count as much as the chip.
