No it is not 3D capable, but I really am not looking for 3D. This TV is for a special media room, not the LR.

If it is for a media room, why are you bothering with a TV ? I’m watching HDTV right now on a 120” screen using my JVC RS1U projector. It’s 5 years old and newer models are available that are brighter and cheaper, but in a dedicated media room with no lights on, nothing beats it for an immersive HDTV experience. The DLA-X3 is brighter than mine and is now only $3K.

Don’t believe people who say an image can be “too big” for a room. I sit 12 feet away from my 120” screen. You want an image big enough that you are on the verge of being to make out the pixels, but can’t quite do it. On a 1080P image, that distance is barely 1x the diagonal measure of the screen.

It’s undoubtedly a fine TV but don’t put much stock in the “fourth color” claim. Like “deep color,” I believe you would only get benefit if the original source and the transmission medium (satellite, cable, Blu-ray etc.) also used the system.

I could be wrong, but I don’t think so. Despite that bit of marketing hype, it should do a fine job for you. If you’re putting it in a dedicated media room, think about turning the picture down for best results. I usually use the cinema (or equivalent) setting for pretty well everything and it works fine. Depends a lot on your room lighting, though.

Good luck!
