You have a lot of hours there. For that reason alone, I'd probably discount any Rear Pro tech, because bulb life will be a factor. For no other reason.
Which leaves Plasma vs. LCD. Although modern Plasmas are very robust (at least, compared to earlier models) I'd still be inclined to suggest LCD as being the most long-lived technology currently available.
This is all of course theoretical and assuming equal build quality and all other things being equal..... |
I wouldn't discount DLP because of of the amount of TV watching hours listed. The newer DLPs have LED illumination which lasts about 50-100 thousand hours without picture fade. That's about 5 to 10 years.
DLP is a lot lighter than plasma (plasma is about 200lbs for a 60" and DLP is 70lbs for the same size television. DLP is also more energy efficient that LCD and plasma so that can save you some bucks on your electric bill. IMO DLP also has the best picture quality. I've read that it has the ability to product up to 200 trillion colors and twice the amount of colors than plasma and DLP.
