LCD or DLP?


I'm looking for a 50" TV, because it's time to go HD baby! ;-)

LCD is supposed to project a better image, but I've never been impressed with LCD monitors. A buddy just bought a 50" Samsung DLP and he says it's the schnizel. Any suggestions or recommendations?

Thanks,

Daltonlanny - what website do recommend for purchasing a TV? I thought the 50" SXRD was like $10K.
Rysa4 is SED technology out on the market?

Thanks guys!

My takeaway thus far. LCD has better picture quality than DLP, with the possible exception of Samsung's new 1 chip DLP. The Sony SXRD is outstanding. Is SXRD a DLP or LCD?

Muchos gracias amigos.
What do you guys think of this statement?

"DVDs are designed for 480p which matches even what EDTV is capable of. HDTV exceeds DVD capability but more closely matches the new Blue-Ray discs that may come out soon. Why do poeple buy 1080p? One reason is because they plan to use a PC to power it for pictures and whatnot. Another might be planning for the future. My guess is that eventually, content will be broadcast in 1080p, but that will likely be 5-10 years from now. Or...you could plan for the future and get 1080p knowing that when content is available, your TV will handle it. I opted out of that route because I didn't want to spend $$ now for utility in some unknown future. If I were 10years younger, I would have gone for the 1080p so I could point at it and say, "It's 1080p..." But now I'm old...40 as you know... Remember Spinal Tap...."but it goes to 11..."

It sounds like content is an issue with 1080p televisions, as they won't project the current DVD format. That's a serious issue for me since I have several hundred DVD's in my library.
