Samsung's DLP Sets: Big, Green and Well Connected
They're not as skinny as LCDs or plasmas, but DLPs have other virtues. Samsung's Series 6 (shown here) and Series 7 DLPs feature support for USB 2 as well as the HDMI 1.3-CEC (Consumer Electronics Control) spec, which allows compliant consumer electronics to communicate directly with each other (for example, inserting a disc into a DVD player supporting CEC could automatically prompt the TV and home theater systems to power up). Series 6 sets will be available in sizes ranging from 50 to 72 inches. The Series 7 DLPs, with LED lighting, are available in 61 and 67-inch models that Samsung touts as exceptionally environmentally conscious, consuming about half the power of a 60-inch plasma set (that would set you back quite a lot more to purchase as well). These new DLPs will appear this spring.
