Many companies are now making very attractive dlp sets at reasonable prices. I would really recommend reading some more info on avsforum.com as there have been a fair amount of problems with some of the dlp sets. If I had the money I would be in the market for Samsung HLP series in stores now. They make 46, 50, 56, 60 inch. The picture quality is astounding. Hope this helps. I learned a lot on avsforum under rear projection units. Good luck
DLP vs Plasma/LCD
I was just about ready to plunk down $4k for a Panasonic 42" plasma. I was at my brother's tonight watching the Olympics on his 42" Pioneer plasma (HD transmission,) when he tells me that I should go with a DLP for my bedroom, rather than the plasma. He claims the picture is much better and they cost less. I wasn't even considering a DLP because I didn't think it would fit in my bedroom. (being to deep) He says they make some, now, that are only a few inches deeper/wider than a plasma. Any takers? Is the DLP the way to go? If so, can anyone recommend one with killer picture quality, and relatively thin? thanks in advance. warren
