Where is HLP4674W?

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

Looked at one yesterday at Sound Advice in Orlando. Rep said it had 7
segments. 2 red 2 green 2 blue 1 grey.
He seemed to think the contrast ratio rating is more sales hipe than
anything we could appreciate. It was next to a Sony 43wega 665 model and
the Sami put it so shame as far as black levels. But next to those two was
the Mits 52725, it looked the best. IMO.

Not to argue, I have been following Samsung rear projection in the AVS
Forum, and what 'quotes' from a Samsumg rep said that the earlier production
units did have 6 segment wheels, but the mid run models, xx74 would have 7
segment. This was the reason I asked the SA guy. I did go to another SA
store today in the area, the guy there said 6 segment, 1 red, 1 green, 1
blue and 3 dark greens???? I wish I could find out for sure, perhaps the
ref you linked to is an old pdf or it maybe not.
