New Samsung DLP model at Costco?

I'm not sure either. I see on their website that they have a 43" Samsung
HLN437W DLP. I'm guessing that the one you saw is also an HLN model. The
HLN models use the Texas Instruments HD2 DLP chip. The HLP models use the
HD3 chip. If you're in there again an easy way to tell the difference is to
just look closely at the screen. If you can see the square pixels then it's
using an HD2 chip. On the HD3 chip you don't see square pixels. It looks
more like tiny little dots.

The guy that managed this page unfortunately passed away in a bicycle
accident. The page is not 100% up to date but it's a great read.
