Dad and I went to BB i saw the panasonic its nice, someone else told me i should look at the 50in plasma. DLP and LCD look the same i think i couldnt tell a difference. at first i though dlp was brighter until i adjusted some settings in the menu on the lcd. what is so good about plasma. from what i saw plasma, lcd, and dlp were very close in image quality, britness, and color reproduction. is it true that plasma goes out very fast?

plasma pros and cons

dlp pros and cons

lcd pros and cons

Plasma has great colour and contrast but an life of about 5 years before i will begin to die and is the most expensive. for a true 1080 hdtv plasma will cost 10-15k. There are cheper models but can only display lower resolutions 2-6k typical

LCD has latency issues, ghosting, and a backlight that fades away after time. Its only advantage is.... umm well none

DLP has colour and contrast ratios that rivel or beat plasma, is cheaper, has the potential to last the longest of the three, three chip models have the best picture. Its only disavantage is believed to be you have to replace a light bulb every 3-5 years

All of the above can operate at one resolution, don't give up on or overlook CRT for the best colour reproduction and pixel pitch The boob tube isdisplay that can show any resolution with out interpolation.ube.

Those light bulbs will cost ya 4 figures as well

NO they won't. the tv will cost 4 figures but not the bulb.

Yes they will, the bulbs are a couple grand to replace

Pff.

... :roll: Directly from samsung, their DLP bulps will set you back a couple grand.

Yes, with labor and such, it may cost $2000 total to replace a bulb (in that case I'd just buy a new TV). But the whole idea of the lamp is that it is user replaceable.

Im not talking about labor, im talking about the bulb that comes in a relatively small box.

Do you have proof that it costs that much directly from samsung? You made the claim so you bear the burden of proof on your part, doggie showed proof otherwise.

HLN* samsung bulbs most expensive appears to be $699.

I work retail and that is what sumsung charges us for a bulb directly from them. We buy them to replace the bulbs in TVs that have extended warranty services. Maybe we're being taken but that is what im going on.

I think the $2000 would be for replacement of the entire light engine, not just the bulb. If you are paying $2000 for just the bulb, imo, you are getting taken for a ride to the moon and back.

Several people on amazon.com have said the bulb was about $250-$350 when they had theirs replaced. Most people say that an extended warranty covering the bulb is worht it too.

Do most people who buy the sammys from you get a bulb warranty as well?

Perhaps you are right then about the entire light engine, but I was almost positive it was just the bulb. We don't have a "bulb" warranty, but our standard extended warranty covers the bulb.

DLP and LCD RPTV bulbs are meant to be replaced by the user.

I've had mine replaced twice already because of troubles I had with my TV. I've seen them do it and it isn't difficult. I've also got a DLP FPJ and cleaned out the bulb as is recommended in the instruction book. It isn't difficult.

If you are talking about the light engine, sure it costs over a grand but what would likely go bad is the bulb not the light engine.

The Toshiba's are great, equivalent to the higher end Samsung's (and cost less too).

Agreed, If it is the light engine, that is not something that you would normal have to replace.

From what I saw at CES, DLP's from samsung looked better than LG, or Sony LCD projection TV's.
