DLP vs Plasma/LCD

you can pick up a 5o inch Pioneer plasma for much less than 5 g's. check the specials over at avsforum.com. I have the 43 inch high def. model and the picture is great. I have compared RPTV, DLP, LCD, CRT and the plasma was overall the best....my point is that MSRP for my model was 8990 which I picked up for about 1/3rd of that.....look around if you like the picture. I did not like the artifacts with the DLP including the HD 2+ chip. I haven't seen the DILA's rear projection yet though.....I did have a DILA front projector and prefer plasma if it is big enough for you....43 inch works well from 10 feet or less....

I recently got a chance to compare various displays that use LCD, DLP, and D-ILA. All three technologies deliver a great picture, but of the three technologies I saw I prefered DLP. But not all DLP sets are created equal. Of the various sets that I compared, the best image I saw came from a Samsung DLP using an HD 2+ chip. The images were jaw dropping. And like Darrylhifi mentioned, Samsung is coming out with a 1080p set really soon (the first 1080p set that I'm aware of). It looks like Samsung is really onto something here, they seem to be genuinely concerned about great picture quality. And for me that's the most imortant thing.

The future {and its the near future} is 1080p. ESPN is already announcing it will broadcast in 1080p, Sony is scrambling to build 1080p camera's , 1080p will be the ultimate. Samsung is building them, Hitachi's new Plasmas {Director Series} has a feature call Virtual 1080p, look for 1080p to take off.

Veracity,

I totally agree. 1080p is without a doubt the ultimate, and hopefully it will become the norm for HDTV. Samsung is definitely on the right track.

Samsung's 1080p chip may not be true 1080. New Home Theater issue says "from what I can gather,the 1080p chip is actually 960 by 1,80" from an attendee of the May Home Entertainment East show in NY.
