In Reply to: Plasma Vs. DLP posted by alon5rev3 on August 16, 2003 at 23:22:55:
Both Plasmas and DLPs, provided they're set up properly can give you an excellent picture with sdtv/hdtv/dvd. The thing that worries me is the life expectency of the plasma. What happens when the pixels on the plasma start to burn out? You'll get tiny little black dots on your screen. To remedy that you'll need to replace the screen, but for how much??? I betcha it's a lot of $$$. As for the DLPs, depending on manufacturers, dlp bulb lifes vary greatly. 1500 to 3000 hrs. When the bulb burns out it's gonna cost you around 600.00 and most likely a service call.
I still like crts!!!If you ever get a chance check out Loewe's Aconda and Articos HD Direct View Tvs, very nice. I'm with some of the other posters, wait and see what the new, larger LCD panels will look like.

The bulbs on the Samsung sets are supposed to late 8000 hours.
Yes some don't. The lastest generation is much improved. The bulb
doesn't cost $600.00, it's $250.00. The price will drop as more & more of these unit are being sold. Repair costs of DLP sets are also far less expensive then CRT based units.
Oh yes. One other thing to consider when buying a new wide screen TV.
WEIGHT What you rather move? A 201 lb 34" CRT tv or a 67 lb 43" DLP?I have also read that a number of CRT manuifactures are already shutting down some of their production lines. DLP, Plasma, LCD, LCoS,
is going to due them in. How many people are going to want to lug around a 300+ lb 40" CRT. Not me. I have a 67 lb 43" DLP on order.
