DLP & LCD RP HDTV's and smearing

Archived from groups: alt.tv.tech.hdtv (More info?)

I've noticed this on all DLP and LCD RPTV's. Some are worse than others,
and it seems to me the DLP models are worse. BTW, before you buy take a
close look at Hitachi's 60" LCD. I narrowed it down to the Sony and Hitachi
and went with the Hitachi and couldn't be happier.

I have a Sony KDF-60XS955 and have not noticed that problem with moving
images such as you describe. One of our primary reasons for buying the set
was for watching football games and we have not been disappointed.
