Sony uses SXRD (Silicon X-tal Reflective Display) technology -- its own proprietary variation of LCoS display technology, which is in turn a variation on DLP and LCD technology, to power this rear-projection television. The biggest tradeoff for LCoS and DLP is that, while much shallower than CRT TVs, they are not truly flat panels. They also have expensive (in the $250 range) lamps that eventually burn out and must be replaced.

If we could afford the $3,000 to $4,000 price tag, we'd snap it up in a second. more info>
