This is how a radio ad from Sound Advice described DLP. They then went on
to point out that a DLP rear projection television "won't dominate the room
the way those old style rear projection televisions did". Note, they didn't
say that DLP has the best picture quality available in rear projection
technology today. Sound Advice is a retail arm of "Tweeter". So, it appears
that retailers now feel that in order to sell big screens they need to push
"image" (no relation to image quality), and size, it's a 62" display which
they unnecessarily state "is over five feet". I don't believe they even
mentioned the fact that the Mitsubishi set they were pushing was HD.

When I was growing up in New Jersey there was a clothing retailer called
Sims. The owner was Cy Sims. The slogan for the stores was, "At Sims an
educated consumer is our best customer". Most electronics retailers
unfortunately seem to take an opposite view. It is a sad commentary on the
state of marketing in the world of High Definition television.

Syms is still around the NYC area although Sy has been replaced by
daughter Marcy as spokesperson in ads. Also, "Syms" has expanded
quite a bit from the few stores in NYC and NJ to about 38 stores in
the northeast. Check this out to go down memory lane:

Therefore, just like much of the electronics industry, Syms is
probably much more corporate than personal like in the old days. But
your point about educated consumers, et. al. still rings true. It's
just a more difficult road to travel with the explosion of
"information." One of those wheat/chaff issues.

Thanks Mr. Fowkes for the trip down memory lane. Boy did I murder that
guy's name. I've been out of the New York metro area for twenty five years,
and it shows! ;-)
