I laughed when i read the “Blue Shirt” comment that DLP’s and Plasmas are the same price. What a joke.

Go look at Best Buys site.

Samsung Slim 61″ 1080P DLP which is WALL MOUNTABLE is $2300.

Samsung 58″(closest size) 1080P Plasma is $3600. If you actually go above the size up to a 63″ Plasma your price skyrockets to over 5k.

Samsung 52″ LCD (Largest i could find on their site) costs $3500 on sale.

You cant compare a 60″ DLP in price to a budget Plasma and say that the prices are equal. They arent even close. If you are in the market for a large screen(50+ Inch) then DLP is the only way to go.

Its really up to the customer in the end, do research, spend hours looking at TV’s on store floors. I spent an hour one day and came back the next day for another bit to look with fresh eyes with a buddy @ BBuy and there is a wide array of quality. You can go from cheap DLP’s and cheap Plasma/LCD’s all the way up to the higher end Samsung/Sony Bravia DLP’s and Panasonic/Samsung Plasmas and LCD’s..

I ended up getting the 56″ Samsung DLP because it was MILES above any other TV of its size in terms of brightness and contrast, and it was at the price point i was looking for which was around 2k.

You can buy a 73″ DLP for 1k less than it costs for a 63″ Plasma/LCD. If you want size DLP is the only way to go. I already have small TV’s for my room etc, i wanted a large screen for my main area for having friends over for 360 and movies. And its an Apartment so setting up a projector wasn’t really an option.

I purchased a 72″ Toshiba DLP. Two guys carried it down the stairs along with its stand. 5 minutes later, it was ready to go.

The TV cost me, IIRC, somewhere in high 3s-low 4s.

Hey, if I lived somewhere that was really cramped, on the wall would likely be an advantage. In my situation, I’d rather put the money a higher-end, more immersing sound system (not mention having money left over to have a candy counter built).

I have a DLP projector that I use for home theater that I got it 3 years ago for $750. It displays in 1080i - but no one broadcasts higher than that right now anyway. For the money, the picture/size (200″ roughly)/ease of use could not be better. I only really have problems on really bright sunny days, but I figure I should be out instead of watching TV on those days anyway.

@image18301: My 2+ year old Infocus 61″ DLP is wall mountable and only 7″ deep. And the product itself was introduced in 2005.

i’m pretty pleased with my 50″ DLP. mostly as it was :

a) dirt cheap
b) large screen size
c) had an actual *native* HD resolution (1280×720) vs. some everything-gets-interpolated BS resolution like 1366×768 panels.

i bought it knowing full well it would be a transitory piece of equipment while i waited for 120Hz / 1920×1080 native / 47″+ / high contrast LCDs to drop considerably in price. and honestly they are dropping faster than i thought.

No magnets?

No?

I thought there’d be magnets, but okay.
