This is Hewlett-Packard's 65-inch DLP Rear Projection TV....it uses a single-chip wobulated xHD4 DMD (1080p) and is the first ever DLP TV that accepts 1080p via HDMI...

Furthermore, S&V had this to say about it:

Test patterns revealed that the MD6580n could resolve nearly every line of a 1080i HDTV source, making it the second-most detailed RPTV I’ve tested. (The $13,000 Sony Qualia 006, a 1080p LCoS HDTV, is the first.)

BOTTOM LINE Put simply, HP’s MD6580n produced the best DLP-based rear-projection TV image I’ve seen yet, and in many ways its picture compared favorably with that of the much more-expensive Sony Qualia 006. If its rookie effort is any sign, HP should have no trouble successfully making that long trip from the home office to the living room.

The HP has a $4995 retail price...that is less than half the price of my Qualia 006!!!

Wow, it sounds like you have one hell of a tv, Klee!

I really just posted this to say that I love the word wobulated.

KLee,

Do not worry.

While TI's newest chip is certainly great, I wouldn't say better than the 006.

For one, and contrary to the advertising / hype ... it can't actually resolve 1080. I know that review says nearly, but side by side - it is softer based on other reviews.
