Plasma will be the future , in possibly 10 years, and will be cleary in the immediate future be on display In Bars, Banks, etc. etc. but currently for an individual to go plasma would be a big mistake. The Reason is simple . The picture quality while good on some still gets easily beaten by traditional CRT {Which is on the way out} . Additionaly the price on plasma should drop in the 40 percent range over the next five years. And in five years of couse, The plasma TV's will not only be cheaper , but they will simply be better quality televisions as manufacturers still have room to develop a better picture..So we are left with LCD, and DLP. Both are surprisngly slim. And they can be mounted on beautiful stands . So my advice is get the latest info on the quality and reliability , of the current crop, however I would buy next years generation , as the release is not that far off, I have seen the Current best and they are quite good. But I see the new models improving on quality and reliabilty that you will want for the long haul. I know Samsung has just released a model that can do 1080p progressive, which warrants a look, and The Sonys are surprisingly very good. Hope that is helpful.
DLP vs Plasma/LCD
I was just about ready to plunk down $4k for a Panasonic 42" plasma. I was at my brother's tonight watching the Olympics on his 42" Pioneer plasma (HD transmission,) when he tells me that I should go with a DLP for my bedroom, rather than the plasma. He claims the picture is much better and they cost less. I wasn't even considering a DLP because I didn't think it would fit in my bedroom. (being to deep) He says they make some, now, that are only a few inches deeper/wider than a plasma. Any takers? Is the DLP the way to go? If so, can anyone recommend one with killer picture quality, and relatively thin? thanks in advance. warren
