I'm looking for a 40"-52" DLP television, and I've narrowed my choices down to the Samsung Tantus 43" (gen 2) and Panasonic Tau 53" (also gen 2). The difference in screen size isn't a huge consideration, as I'm mainly interested in picture quality and reliability. Does anyone have any opinions/comments about these two TVs. The price difference is significant--I can get the Samsung for $2,900, while the Panasonic is $4,500--but, again, it's the quality I'm concerned with. Any thoughts would be appreciated. TIA.

I bought a Mitsubishi 65" DLP for $11k a year and a half ago and love the picture. I would recommend the DLP technology to anyone looking at large screen sets & would now recommend the Samsung sets.My pc provides a scaled dvd image to my set’s (1280 * 720) native 720p resolution and the picture is spectacular. I recently helped a friend set up a Samsung DLP set & the picture is fabulous. For the price, the Samsung is a no brainier…buy the set and enjoy!
I saw the Samsung the other day and must say the DLP sets are great.
I did a little reseach over at AVS forum and was surprised to see many have had problems with the bulb burning out in a matter of months,
much much shorter then the estimated 8000 hrs. To make matters worse, some owners had to wait weeks for a replacement. I understand Samsung is aware of the problem and hope the problem has been corrected by now.
But the Samsung sets are mighty impressive, and have garnered quite a following. Why not add the the Samsung HLN567W, a 56" set into the mix? It can be had for about the same price as the Panasonic.
