Samsung 4th Generation DLP

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

I'm sure you are aware, Samsung has had problems with audio sink with video.
I had a set a year or so ago and it was a problem - returned the set. Bought
a Sony, and although there is still some minor sink issues, it's much better
than the Samsung was... you might want to be sure this is fixed in the 4th
generation.

Samsung's newest rear projection DLPs HL-P##74W series uses the newer
TI chip. However, the current versions HL-P##63W series has a 7
segment color wheel and spins at 10,800 rpm as opposed to the newer
series which has a 6 segment color wheel and only spins at 9,000rpm.
One would think the 7 segment color wheel that spins faster is better?
No?

Will.
