Best new 70" to 80" display

I went and looked at the Mitsubishi DLP screens in both 82" and 94"; and compared to Sharp 80" in same store...both are pretty good, but I thought the picture quality was better with the DLP; more cinema like if you watch movies; sports I think is better with LCD; but it gives you an almost articfical 'sharpness' and brightness, but can't match the dlp with colors and accuracy, and speed. If you don't need to hang it flat on a wall; for thte $$$ saved; the dlp is viable option in my opinion. The Elite is quite good for its size; but its price has to be considered a factor for us real world buyers...I have the Mitsu 73" now; and am planning on moving on up...probably to the 82" 740 series; as I don't need to spend money on a front sound bar; when I have a great integrated two channel/home theater rig...can get this unit for around $2800 delivered.

SHarp had no interest in Pioneer's plasma technology.
I think this will be very informative.

Put 1 link up already. Here is another:

Fplanner, thanks for the links, very cool. It seems to me that we might be in a petty disagreement re: a marketing strategy. In the video link you provided, the speaker tells the audience that it was developed with Pioneer and Sharp engineers, and that it should be sold as neither a Pioneer or a Sharp, but as an Elite. That would suggest to me that it's quite possible, if not probable considering that Pioneer sold their previous technology to Panasonic, that the direct technology used with this LED has very little to do with the direct technology used in Pioneer's famed Kuro Pro plasma, and is newly developed. I suspect that Sharp will create a high end line, using the Elite name on other products just as Pioneer used to do, (though Pioneer did dilute that cache' somewhat). Anyway, thanks for the links, it's appreciated and I did find it interesting.

I'll say the best picture quality goes to dlp, very cinema like indeed! I love my 73738, I saw the Elite's and while nice I still favor the Dlp as my display of choice!
