Dlp or plasma's? what would you have?

Question

i have a mitsubishi 65" dlp projection tv. i was thinking of replacing this tv with a plasma. should i or should i stay with the dlp? nothing is wrong with my dlp but i was wondering if its worth the switch. i love the plasma's color when you watch one. what do you think?

Answer 1

If you have the diamond series from mitsubishi i would definitly stick with that. DLP is essentially great screen size for the price, not boasting anything significant in color or brightness. the good news is they have a limited life because they work on a bulb so if i were you i would let the TV go till the bulb dies, Then look into a new tv. the bulbs for a tv that big usually cost around 400-600 dollars and thats a hefty price because the average american switches them every 4 years.

Hope i helped out good luck.

Answer 2

Well it really depends on your situation.  A plasma tv would provide you with image quality that is significantly better than a DLP, both in depth of color and overall clarity of the image.  That being said, if you aren't mounting the tv, the DLP is still a good option for you.  Keep in mind a plasma at a similar size as a DLP will cost between $6-7000.  If you can afford it I would do it, becuase you will enjoy your home theaer experience more.

PS- Akon, shut up, Mitsubishi just lowered all the bulb prices to $99.

Answer 3

Plasma tvs do provide a noticeably better picture than dlp or lcd but I wouldn't play video games on them. Is it enough of a difference to replace a working dlp tv? I guess that depends on your budget and how much you want the better picture.

Answer 6

If you are going to switch I would switch to an LCD instead of a plasma, but I see no reason in getting rid of the dlp.
