I own a Samsung sp-p4251 plasma and a Samsung hlp5685 dlp. I know the plasma is a enhanced version. Our family tends to watch the dlp more I personaly like the piture on the dlp better we are hooked up to HD cable on both. In my quest for a plasma to me the one that was the referance to all plasma`s is the Pionier Elite if you can swing the price of that one you will have the best David
