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

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.

It seems that Plasma's are dropping in price, holidays, or can we expect an onslaught of new products?
