FWIW, I understand the Plasma gets dim over time especially in rooms with normal light. DLP bulbs can burn out as often as twice a year, but some last for years on end. LCD has a more limited front viewing angle. A couple of repair techs I talked to (just guys working in factory authorized repair stores, not people I knew) both said they would not own a DLP until after the price of the bulbs went down. They did not like plasma and were luke warm on the older generation of LCDs. They liked the old Hitachi and Sony picture tubes or the Sony, Panasonic, or Aqueous LCD sets. I'm still waiting for my 19" Panasonic to go out, 10+ years old...
