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

Hey Warren, so your laying in bed with your bride you got the covers pulled up and your watching some kinda movie we cannot discuss on these pages.Are you going to be able to see that DLP over your size 17 sneakers?..The Plasma sets have a much wider viewing angle not only in the horizontal but also in the vertical.Tom
Hey Warren wait till after Cedia.Lotsa new video product will be shown..I am going Sept9th..Panasonic claims 19000hrs for their plasma to reach half brightness,the level the human eye can discern a difference. Sold lot of plasma tv's only one that needed service couldn't be serviced..it was dropped..Tom
This product at this time is available to members of the Pro Buying group..So it is not as widely available ..so the pricing is not as fluid as the lesser models. When the newness wares off in a few months and distribution is widened the price will be reduced..Tom
