Texas Instruments said Monday that it's 1920 x 1080 HD DLP chips have been fully qualified and are now in production shipment to customers. DLP TVs from manufacturers like LG, Mitsubishi, Samsung and Toshiba are expected to be at retail as early as July. Mitsubishi intro'd five new 1080p DLP models -- ranging in screen size from 52 inches to 73 inches -- at its dealer show on Monday. According to TI, the new 1080p chips offer better sharpness, enhanced colors, darker black levels and improved contrast ratios (above 5000:1) over the previous generation of 720p DLP chips.
I have to say that the 1080p DLP models I saw at CES from the above manufacturers did offer an absolutely stunning picture quality. Here's an easy prediction: they'll sell quite well once they hit retail this summer, and will give plasma and LCD a much more serious competitive threat.
