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

I'd just like to throw in my two cents. I'm choosing to go with the LCD technology (in about a year from now).

Here are a few reasons why:

1. LCD is a very proven technology that has been perfected
2. DLP has way too many moving parts (millions of little mirrors and colorwheel) = lots of potential problems
3. Plasma is too expensive and they haven't figured out how to stop the actual gas from leaking

IMHO,
Mike
