it would be nice being like "normal" people. Going to a Best Buy, taking a look around and telling the salesman,"I want that one". Taking it home and enjoying without a second thought.
Physically ill? With my luck, i finally convince the wife to go for a 4k TV and then having to explain to her that its the TV thats making her sick
Rainbows: some see it, some dont. I guess its like seeing the figure of the Virgin Mary in a a carpet stain.
Some see it, some dont.I did spend some time over at AVS. There is some talk of the new DLPs with the new Texas Instruments chip. Hopefully it will address these problems. I guess they should be out soon since the retailers are dropping the price of the current DLps.
.All three, plasma/LCD/DLP, will give me a picture I'll be happy with.My biggest concern is reliablity and thats the reason why Im leaning towards the DLPs. From what I've read, the "no burn in" and easy replacement of the bulb appeals to me. The dead pixels on the LCDS worries me. Would you agree so far?

I know the $$$$ are making you nervous, but don't let it get to you. Take the wife to a few demos and see how she likes the picture on the DLP sets. Remember, only a small percentage of people have any adverse affects from the technology. It's not like it's a 50-50 shot, it's only a few percent. Look on the bright side, less time in front of the TV leaves more time for sex. If that doesn't do it, is there any way that you can trade in the wife if she does see rainbows, but you just love the picture?I wouldn't worry about the dead pixels on the RP LCDs either. From several feet away, even if you had two dead pixels together, you won't notice it. The dead pixel complaint comes from people that just have to put their nose right up to the display and check for the minutest flaw. You don't sound like that anal of a person. What you do have to worry about with the rear projection LCDs is the poor black level detail. At best, it can be called washed out. Black level capability is an important factor for me in display technology. While digital displays can equal CRT (none of them, although Panasonic's plasma glass comes very close), RP LCD is the worst. Now, if poor black level detail doesn't bother you, does the animated, almost cartoonish look of the RP LCDs bother you? If not, give them some consideration.
By the way, I am just exaggerating a bit with the picture description of the RP LCD displays. And I did say " a bit".
If any AV purchase is "easy" you're not doin' it right! LOL...And rainbows aren't like visions of the Virgin - most folks don't fervently hope to see rainbows on their display.
Seriously. Don't agonize too much. You've got it more or less in a nutshell. At least now you know you don't have to gas up a plasma after 6,000 hours. (BTW, no burn-in with LCDs, either.) You are so gonna love having a new TV.
Seriously, just go to the stores when the new DLPs arrive and look at some sets. Wait for some contrasty content to appear on the screen. Move your eyes from side to side. If you and your wife don't see the rainbows and don't get sick - rejoice! You're done.
Except for a DVI DVD player, HD cable box, cabling...
