I agree that PC World isn't exactly a source I would choose to review
high end displays. That said, they actually did give a good review
to the HP MD5880n, the set that I own. I compared the picture of
this set with the Sony SXRD at Cedia and actually preferred the HP by
a small margin. The fact that the Sony doesn't accept 1080p input
dropped it off my list for consideration. Incidentally, I think that
there is an error in the PC World report. They state that the
Mitsubishi accepts 1080p input. Unless this is the set that accepts
1080p/24 at the VGA input (not your mainstream 1080p input) then they
are wrong on this.

I'm very happy with my HP as it has the finest picture I've ever seen
on any display. I can't see how it could possibly be rated as just
"very good" by any objective standard unless the reviewer is one who
suffers from Rainbow Effects with DLPs (I don't). However, I can't
recommend HP service as a viable support structure. Absolutely
abysmal. You better know about TVs or you are in for a bumpy ride if
you happen to get a lemon. Rodolfo had some kind words about my HT
web site. For those who wish to learn more about my Jekyll & Hyde HP
ride you might wish to check it out at my HT web site

here: http://www.rfowkes.com/html/ht.html

(not a commercial web site so there's nothing in it for me other than
a forum to place my observations, etc. Lots of stuff there including
all my new toys.)

For those who like to cut to the chase: here's a direct link to the
relevant pages:

Why not? Their report seems consistent with other reports out on these new displays.
