DLPs don't suffer from the Rainbow effect, people do, at least a minority of individuals are susceptible to the effect. Yes bulbs require replacement but this could be anything up to 5 years dependant on usage. And as far as viewing from an angle is concerned the only problem is with the vertical viewing angle but then again nobody watches TV standing up.RyanK said:No one screen is perfect.
DLP suffers from "the Rainbow Effect" and bulbs need replacing plus you have to be right in front of it, viewing from an angle is a no-no. But the picture is breathtaking
Plasmas have problems with screenburn and don`t last half as long as LCD but have great contrast ratios i.e blacks are very black
LCD`s used to have quite low contrast ratios and bad response times, but most manufactures have now got response times upto 14ms or above and with added gizmos is more like 6ms in some cases and backlight control helps with contrast ratios. Plus No screenburn with LCD and they last a very long time. At least 60,000 hours before you have to start worrying.
The latest Plasma's are rated to last 60,000 hours the same as LCD's, but after this time the brightness will be down to half of it's original level only.RyanK said:No one screen is perfect.

Ryan...have you definately decided then...I went into local retailer today. Compared the 500 and the 52 side by side and after looking for a good ten minutes, could find absolutely no difference in picture.RyanK said:Panasonic TX32LXD500

The 500 is £3/400 more than the cheapest price for the 52. I am down to these two models only, so what's tempted you to pay the additional amount?
