Which would you get? A 65in 60hz refresh DLP TV or a 55 in 120hz refresh LCD TV if the price is the same for both? Please post what you would choose and why.

Re: DLP or LCD
My understanding is that over time DLP will lose its' brilliance.... so you'll get a constantly degrading picture. I don't think you have this with LCD's.
Or you can do what Steven Wright said he did in his most recent stand up routine:
"I bought a Plasma TV today in case that later on I would need a transfusion." hehe -
Re: DLP or LCD
Depends on the price....truth be told, you can get 73 inch DLP TV's for $1,400. Nowadays you will be lucky to get a 55 inch LCD for $1,400. So when it comes to big screens, I will rock a DLP all day long.Comment

Re: DLP or LCD
Yes and no. The bulb in a DLP will eventually get darker and die (same as a light bulb). It costs around $200 to replace and is very easy to do. New bulb and the picture is as bright as the day the TV was purchased.
I have a 46" DLP and 37" LCD in the bedroom right now (the 46" will be replaced by a 63" 3D plasma later this year). The LCD has a more vibrant picture IMO. Of course, I bought the LCD about 5-6 years after the DLP so technology in both areas changed a lot during that time...therefore my opinion might be skewed. Don't get me wrong...I like both TV's a lot, but the picture on the LCD just seems to "pop" more.Comment

Re: DLP or LCD
I have a 46" Sammy DLP. My screen got darker over 3 years. But I just replaced my bulb last week and it's just like new. DLP tv's are easy to work on also.Boy this habit is as bad as dope!!!

Re: DLP or LCD
Depends what you're looking for. DLP's are generally cheaper for more size plus they have much better speakers (in case you don't have surround sound). I have a 62" Samsung DLP that we picked up (open box item) for about $1200 and geez it's beautiful, especially on game days. Also, it doesn't weigh much, just needs 2 people to move it because it's so big. that's what she said
We also have a 36" Samsung LCD ($800) and as mjb stated, the colors seem to pop more and I tend to notice the game graphics have a smoother, more fluid movement to them but nothing that makes you stand up and applaud. Of course, the big draw here is the portability of it.
I play my 360 on both; sometimes I simply prefer one over the other.Comment

Re: DLP or LCD
How far away will you be sitting? Take a look at the following chart: http://www.amazon.com/gp/feature.htm...42531#howbigtv
Also, depends on what's most important to you. The LCD is naturally brighter so it's going to "pop" more in terms of visuals. 10 inches of TV screen is a very big difference. You also have to figure in lamp replacements every 3 or so years at $150-200 each. Tough call.
This would be a whole lotta screen for $1300 (no taxes and free shipping) http://www.amazon.com/Mitsubishi-WD-...3979135&sr=8-2
You could always go with plan C which would be to get a 1080p projector. Less space and up to 120 inches.

Re: DLP or LCD
Assuming you're a gamer, I'd go with 120 hz over something bigger at 60.Comment

Re: DLP or LCD
Ah, you're right I forgot he said DLP. However, going DLP will require bulb replacement at some point as well, so something else to consider.Comment

Re: DLP or LCD
I had a 47' 1080 LCD for several months and traded it in and got a 55' Sony SXRD (Sony's version of DLP) and the difference is night and day. The SXRD has the best picture i've ever seen on a TV. The colors aren't as bright, but the contrast is miles better.Comment
