Even if you don't, there's always the Q of whether your SO, or
guests may. Guess it's up to one's own judgement.

Samsung is also now making an LED-based DLP. It uses 3 LED panels
instead of a lamp and color wheel. But the initial reviews haven't
been raves (well, at least CNET's). Maybe it just needs maturation?

Burn-in is now pretty much a non factor on most decent Plasma's and hasnt
been for more than 2 years. DLP owners will ALWAYS point to burn-in and
they are just perpetuating the DLP industry "company line". DLP was a cute
interim technology but anyone that has had to spend hundreds replacing guns
every couple of years knows the real deal behind DLP.

Samsung and Sony recently announced a mfg partnership which should present
us with 46" and 52" LCD's at a very low price in the very near future.

Right now the only REALISTIC choice is Plasma, PERIOD. (can you say 6hrs a
day for 27yrs?). That 50" Plasma Samsung is REALLY interesting for <$1500.

Sounds like a smokin deal, but I've never been a fan of Samsung
plasmas. They seem to me to be an LCD company (where they are
strong) that also makes everything else. But not do those too well.
But maybe they're better than they were when I looked at them a
couple years back. I'd go with the tried and true Panasonic 50" for
$2000 now.

You might still be able to buy CRT HDTV's. They are heavy and huge, but
the picture quality can be even better than LCD's for much less money.

Yea, you can still buy them but the largest I have seen is only 32".

I've never had a guest have an issue. It's a very rare thing, actually.

Yeah, I get a big freakin check from Texas Instruments every month. Sheesh,
Mitch. You come up with the craziest **** sometimes.

And I see burn-in on Plasma's in stores all the time.

Oh, and there are NO guns in DLP's. It's light reflected off a mirror
through a color wheel.

Only the old CRT based rear-projections use 'guns'.
