Just about to dive into the world of HD TV I mistakenly thought only Plasma tachnology would do this...then I spotted An LG and a Sony DLP TV set next to their equivalent Plasma buddies.. the DLP's p[icture looked top my untrained eye every bit as sharp as the Plasma one's..I'd heard the blacks etc weren't as sharp on the DLP's but not from what I saw...similarly standing at the side I was way to the side before the DLP one was unviewable..but I fot wider than I would have thought... I also saw what looked like a lot of reflection in the Plasma TV compared tto the DLP ( virtually none). Now I know the DLP costs are about half ( or less) of the Plasma one's and this makes me wonder about their true value...
I also understand if a DLP bulb goes , yes it costs to replace it but it can be replaced whereas with Plasma once your 'pixels' go thats it...chuck it in the bin 'cos you can't re-inject the gases to the TV..
I am seriously now tempted to go for the biggest dlp tv (no I don't want a projector!) rather than a more mediocre 42" plasma...
Is this a false economy though or should I go buy the smaller Plasma ( that I can afford) - and whats my big downside with DLP TV? I honestly can't see one other than I can't hang it on the wall!!
Thoughts guys?
