LCD vs. Plasma vs. DLP

+2 on projection. I have a panasonic PT-AE1000U w/ an elite screens 92" in my basement and have never been happier with my decision...of course, with my screen down, I can make my basement pitch black as it covers the only window in that room.

DLP and LCD projection are actually two different kinds of projection...and there is a third kinda also called LCOS(liquid crystal on silicone).all DLP tv's use a color wheel, spinning at ~1200rpm. these can go bad(samsung is known for their colorwheels going out after 2-3 years). yes, there is the rainbow effect, but they have a very fast response time, almost no motion blurring.
LCD projection is like a lightbulb shining through small lcd panel. on these you get what is called the "screendoor effect". you see the lines between the pixels.
LCOS is kind of like a combination of lcd and dlp technologies, and is by far the best rear projection technology out. the sony sxrd's( arguably one of the best rear pj's ever made) uses lcos.
i meant LED projection (uses LED's instead of a color wheel so no rainbow effect).... not LCD... late night post... my bad -
[QUOTE=treimche;217036]For the glare issue, thats easy, get a tilting wall bracket, or something similar. I watch w/ the blinds open all the time and dont have glare problems, but I know some do. If you have a GOOD plasma, your room doesn't need to be dark either.
And on the video game subject, I personally haven't seen that yet. My tv has had HOURS upon HOURS for weeks in a row, with COD4 played on it and not one issue of burn in.

glare off of an open window is my only problem(but my tv faces the 9ft x 5ft window) so make sure you look into that if you feel it may affect you
also, i had a projection tv FIRST and HATED it. dont settle on one. walk into the store, find the one you think looks the nicest, and buy that one. Dont waste money on two or three 1k dollar tvs before you finally find the bulls to buy the one you REALLY want/ lesson learned.

I like my 42" Olevia LCD....1080p and was less than $1k...however, hands down the best picture i've ever seen has come from a Samsung LCD. The 40" model of it was almost $3k a few months ago though so its pretty spendy...For the money, I couldn't go wrong...I got a three year warranty with it as well.

I have a Toshiba DLP and love it. The black is about as true as it comes, in comparison to some LCD and Plasma and picture quality is amazing. Also you generally get more TV for the dollar.
Takes up more room, can't mount it on a wall, bulbs replacements every few years, and a phased out technology....
All in all I would purchase another DLP in a heartbeat.
The best thing to do is figure out what you have room for, from screen size to physical size...view models in your budget and purcahse accordingly.
