Question

Dlp, Plasma or Lcd ....what is the best type of tv to buy?

Answer 1

It really depends on your situation.

DLP

Pros-

1) Lots of screen space for your dollar

Cons-

1) Must replace the bulb (between 250 and 300 dollars) periodically

2) Almost impossible to watch tv anywhere but right in front of the television.

3) Display is not a bright and vibrant as a Plasma or an LCD.

4) Cannot be wall mounted.

Plasma

Pros-

1) Deep rich colors

2) 480 Hz processing on newer models makes fast moving images such as sports and action movies flow very smoothly. This is 4 times faster than the best lcd.

3) panel life of about 60000 hours.

4) Can be wall-mounted.

Cons-

1) Some older model plasmas were prone to burn in and image retention.  Due to updates in technology such as pixel orbiters and screen wipes this is not as big of an issue as it used to be.

2) Glass Panel can create significant glare in a room with a lot of light.

LCD

Pros-

1) Virtually no glare issues

2) Displays are very bright

3) Do not suffer from burn in.

4) Can be wall mounted

5) 60000 panel life

Cons-

1) Slower processing than plasma (120 hz on higher end models)

2) Are more expensive at larger sizes than plasma

3) poor black levels (black will often look more gray than black.)

Well here's a good article between LCDs & Plasmas and DLPS. You really get much more TV with DLPs. http://ezhdtv.net/nitty-gritty-of-hdtv/
