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.
