I've been looking at both Plasma EDTV and HD DLP sets. I thought that HD2+ was actually a higher-end DLP chip than the newer HD3. In any case, there are a couple Samsung models that look stunning... but in a brighter room, the Plasma is still the clear winner.

Some will argue that a home theater environment shouldn't be bright and I agree. The reason I mention it though is because which ever set I decide on, it will be placed in a room that is very bright and open during the day.

I'm still undecided but I'm starting to lean toward Plasma EDTV - which still looks stunning to me at a reasonable distance from the screen.... and bright enough for use in open daylight.
