they really dont make the SXRD anymore?! i picked up one of those for $2400 when it was originaly $3800 from sony. the 50inch is a better tv theoreticaly because the 50 and 60 use the same bulb so the 50 inch is brighter. then again though, its a smaller tv! i always thougt you couldnt get a decent DLP for under 4 grand so how is that better?! i got my tv from bestbuy and they gave us a hell of a deal because we got the full surround sound, reciever, power conditioner, ps3, and another 26 inc LCD for the bar. hell of a TV for under 3 grand.

I just need a G25 and an HDTV then I can appreciate the game more

but my sdtv and my driving force pro will have to do.

Also I disagree with you on the graphics. I played it all Wal-mart this wednesday on an hdtv and they are perfect. just missing damage

sweet set up

bet you only posted to show off your set up

i wish i had a 50inch tv

wouldnt you?! hehe... the graphics are great i think and the physics are RIGHT ON, well except for a few cars like the BMW M3 handles like dog shit which is far from true in real life. my only complaint is some of the edges look a bit jaggy. i bet its something they will clean up in the final game but why has that always been such a challange in video games? for as long as i remmeber, iv looked at those edges on games and wondered WHY!

Nope. When the SXRD came out, the color wheels in DLP were to slow to properly do 1080p. They were also only 3 colors. They sped up the wheels and added a few colors to it.

In a 1080p DLP TV, there is a grid of mirrors that are 1900x1080. One for each pixel. If it's on, it sends light to the screen, it it's off, the light passes through it and hits the bottom of the TV. It quickly turns on and off as the color wheel spins, to put the right amount of time for each color on the screen so your eye can mix it. So if you want green for example, it will stay lit while the yellow and blue passes by, and turn off for the red. Your eye sees, at a very very fast rate of yellow and blue swapping back and forth, and tells you it sees green. If they want a richer blue-green, the light stays on longer for the blue. If you wan the color to be darker, it stays on shorter for each (so you get less light). With these kinds of techniques, they can produce any color.

For LCoS, there is a prism in your TV that breaks the colors into three primary colors, and then runs them pass three independent 1900x1080 grids. The grids block a certain amount of light, based on the color you want. So for the green example above, the display that red is hitting let's no light through, and the blue and yellow ones let all the light through. If you want more blue-green, the yellow one will let less light through. These three beams are then mixed back together and displayed. The color is premixed, and for the entire time, the pixel is actually green. No need for your eye to mix anything.

In theory, the LCoS is still better, as it mixes the color before the pixel hits the screen, the pixel for DLP is one of the 5 colors of the color wheel for a set amount of time, and your eye mixes the color for you.

LCoS has three 1900x1080 displays in it (one for each color), where as DLP only needs to have 1. It makes our TV's heavy (adds to shipping costs), and cost more to produce. 

in the end the picture looks the same, as your eye does a good job of mixing the colors. It's more a purists point of view that LCoS is better technology, not really an image thing. Both are better then LCD, as when you want black, it's truly the absent of all light, and is really back. In LCD, your still send energy to the pixel to represent the color black, and it turns out gray. The newer TV's are a lot better, but LCD will probably never be able to produce real blacks.

That's where the next technology comes on, OLED TV's :)

I have only seen a few issues, so I am not slamming the graphics, they are just less then I expected. I also have a 1080p 50" TV. I am sure you were paying on a 22" LCD or something, running 720p. When the picture and resolutions are smaller, everything looks crisper.

Plus, I have played for hours, and seen a few anomalies. You probably played at Wal-mart for just a few minutes.

They are still the best car visuals I have ever seen! :) 

GT 5 Prologue looks like about an overall 85% review score game. Thats a good score. GT 5 will get to about 93% average review score when its released and all the scores are in.
BTW: Great set up for GT 5: Prologue.

 Im pretty sure the wal mart ttv was 1080p

Anyways the song in the beginning in that video is addicting~ so is the video! I restart the game just to watch it lol. 

The smallest 1080p TV on the market is 32", and I have never seen a TV that big hanging in a box store for the purpose of demoing games. No need to go smaller anyway, as at 32" you would have to be less then two feet away from the screen to see any difference as it is. Smaller would just be pointless.

And yea, I love the opening move :)
