The Toshiba 57HLX82 (http://www.watch.impress.co.jp/av/docs/20020110/ces07.htm) (enlarged (http://www.watch.impress.co.jp/av/docs/20020110/ces7_05.jpg) ) was at the CEA's 2002 CES displaying their current LCoS' chipset resolution of 1280 x 720p on the prototype. This HDTV was slated to go up against TI's DLP RPTVs and other purely digital LCoS PRTVs such as Huxian's (http://www.hi-definition-television.com/) which all will resolve 1280 x 720p natively.
BUT, Toshiba has stepped up to plate and plans to knock the ball out of the park with the ACTUAL 57HLX82 that will ship in the '4th quarter' of 2002.
Gary Merson researched this unit for his article in the May/June The Perfect Vison where on page 32, he states "unlike the 720p prototype set shown at Toshiba's booth, the production model will feature a three-chip LCoS engine with a matrix of 1920 x 1080, providing the first fixed panel display with 1080p native resoltion."
So, widescreen 1080p it is. We have been having this discussion on a thread (http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=110678&perpage=20&pagenumber=1) at the AV Science forum about 1080p and the other smaller 16:9 monitors that will resolve 1920 x 1080p currently.
But the Toshiba will blow away every 16:9 Widescreen RP HDTV out there this fall.
Hitachi apparantly is making a counterpart to the 57HLX82 called the 57HCX82 which was recently mentioned at DTVMax: (http://www.dtvmax.com)
"Hitachi was also displaying a model 57HCX82 LCoS based 57 inch rear HDTV projector that is planned for a fall 2002 introduction."
If you read between the lines, Hitachi will probably be using the same chip that is in their current LCoS Front Projector mentioned in their website (http://www.hitachi.com/lcd/about/05lcos_proj/halp-ZZZT6NO90TC.html) .
Watching TRUE high def in 1920 x 1080p at 60Hz will rock. The beauty is that you can also surf the web widescreen in 1920 x 1080 at 72Hz as well, with no burn-in. Can't wait.
If anyone learns of more info on this set, please post. This is the leading, cutting edge of the next generation of HDTVs that are about to launch.
