Typically the question is LCD or plasma. I wouldn't buy DLP.

If your hooking up an xbox and your PC, stick with an LCD. Don't waste your time with projection. I would be too nervous to play xbox all day on a plasma because of potential burnin.

your question and link are totally OFF.

u want to compare DLP and PLASMA and have a link to a LCD RPTV. LOL

Well, LCD Rear projection > DLP, so I don't blame him

And at $2K, you'll only get 1080P like the TV OP linked to if you choose LCD RP. If you want a 1080P LCD, be prepared to pay $3.5-4K for a 50" model. Plasmas aren't even common in the 1080P level so I don't think they're economic either way, plus, Plasmas are slowly being phased out by LCDs, so I don't think we should continue investing in them.

DLP > LCD projection. The link goes to an SXRD, which is liquid crystal on silicon technology. That's distinct from a straight LCD projection set and far superior IMO.

Regular LCD RP > Regular DLP

LCD bulbs are comparably cheaper to replace, do not suffer from rainbow effects, and LCD RP is a much more mature technology than DLP is, making LCD RP more stable and easier to QA.

Given the choice, I would get a LCD RP over DLP. Similarily, I would get an LCD over a Plasma.

DLP > LCD projection.

+1

Just get a plasma and don't worry about which type of projection is better.

[Jaytee]

I dont like projection. IMO Plasma's are way better. Definitely better picture quality. I game on my plasma almost everyday for two years and dont have burn in.

[Odysseus_Maximus]

+1 for plasma.

If you want something that looks sleek & sexy to hang on your wall, get a plasma/lcd. If you care about picture quality, this SXRD rear projection is the absolute best, especially at $2,000.

I use this one to for watching HD programs, PS3 games & hi-def Blu-Ray movies. It is just stunning with full 1080p resolution. It always ranks on top of most professional reviews (Sound & Vision, Widescreen Review, etc.) because of the picture quality.

At this price range, you won't find any plasma with full HD 1920x1080 capability. Basically, you're throwing away 1/2 the pixels with a 1366x768 set. The issue I had with lcds is the colour range, especially the black level. In supposedly dark scenes, most lcds have problems as black tends to look like dark grey. Really annoying when watching movies. I also have a problem with ghosting on LCD - very visible while watching hockey.

If you know your stuff, you'd get an LCD. DLP, Rear Projection, Plasma is the stuff I wouldn't get.

Forget LCD and Plasma!

Are you severely limited by the amount of space your TV takes up? Are you stinking rich?

If you answered no to both questions, why would you go ahead and buy a Flat Panel TV? No point! There are much better and cheaper alternatives, such as the ones mentioned. The LCoS in the SXRD is a great alternative technology. Sony's worked out the kinks it had with the first generation already (a-la-green-blob issues). As for DLP you can try to find one that uses LEDs rather than the regular bulb such as this model:
Samsung HL-S5679W
