Not to argue, I have been following Samsung rear projection in the AVS
Forum, and what 'quotes' from a Samsumg rep said that the earlier production
units did have 6 segment wheels, but the mid run models, xx74 would have 7
segment. This was the reason I asked the SA guy. I did go to another SA
store today in the area, the guy there said 6 segment, 1 red, 1 green, 1
blue and 3 dark greens???? I wish I could find out for sure, perhaps the
ref you linked to is an old pdf or it maybe not.
