looking for dlp or plasma selection help

Video Asylum

TVs, VCRs, DVD players, Home Theater systems and more.

We're close to buying. Most all LCD's do not fit our desired size, (minimum 42"). It looks like it's between entry level EDTV plasma or HDTV DLP. The plasma is attractive due to the hang on the wall option. However, we are still going to have an audio rack below it and I'm not opposed to getting a new rack to hold the audio and the DLP TV, (the DLP from Samsung we are looking at is only 14.5 inches deep).
The DLP looks wonderful. Seems brighter than the possible Zenith or Samsung plasma we are looking at. The HD is nicer than ED, (we have a EDTV plasma in our upstairs right now).
The plasma concerns me due to burn-in. I see it on our current plasma and it's less than a year old. However, DLP is new to me. I hear issues of "rainbow" when your eyes blink watching it. Is this real? Can some DLP owners share their thoughts? At first glance the DLP really looks impressive and better than the entry level EDTV plasmas.
At present the DLP of choice, (due to cost), is the Samsung HL-P4663W. Your thoughts please...
Thanks, in advance.
