Samsung HL-P5063W

Only 5 to 8000 hours??? show me one that claims more. ( you better hope it lasts because Samsung has NO BULBS)

2,799?? Not for a 5063

HD3 chip is not new, all HLNs had them also.

Samsung's new line of DLP's are just as bad as the HLNs
(Buyer Beware)

The Samsung HLN sets use the HD2 chip.

There will be a new series of Samsung sets, HLPxx77, scheduled for release later this year that will use the HD2+ chip.

The HL-Pxx63 sets use the HD3 chip. Just as importantly, the HL-Pxx63, and the forthcoming HLPxx77 sets, use a 7 segment color wheel versus the older 6 segment color wheel in the HLN sets.

FWIW, I have a Samsung HL-P5063. It has operated flawlessly and has great PQ.

Yes; $2,799 at PC Richards here on Long Island. You should be able to get that price at any large retailer. Just walk out if you don't. Don't think they'll let you leave.

Have the set two weeks now. Picture is incredible in HDTV; STV terrific too when the source is good. Not even using the DVI (or HDMI) inputs yet from the HDTV set top box. Still using S-video for DVDs. DVDs looking great too. Will move the DVD player to component out and the STB to the DVI connection as soon as I order cables.
