I don't get the anti-wobulation meme. One of the best RP HDTV's of the
last 5 years (the HP 6580m) used an early form of wobulation and
proved that there is no way for the user to tell.

My apt-mate just bought the Mitsubishi 65732, a 65" 1080p DLP that has
so far been amazing. It accepts 1080p, 720p and 480p Nvidia modelines.
They also have a 57" and 73".

have you tried taking her shopping? My dad sold my mom on it by
sitting her in front of a 60" HDTV at the store when they went range
shopping (She got a Thermador Pro range like she always wanted, as
well as a house remodel...). Now she watches it more than he does!
