My New TV...Help me pick it

I'm looking to buy a new TV, and I have been doing some research, and I have come up with 3 options. Feel free to suggest anything else. I like the Samsung, hence the choices, and DLP is the most cost effective so here are the 3 choices

Samsung HL-P5085W 50" DLP Projection TV

Samsung HLN5065W 50" DLP Projection TV

Samsung HL-P5063W 50-IN. HDTV DLP TV

They are almost identical except for Gen. I can't post much at work, as my lunch break is about over, and they are listed in order of appeal to me. Feel free to degrade them, and come up with better choices.

Thanks
 
Choose the best one you can afford?

Not a lot of choices here. 3 Samsung 50" DLPs. Get the one with the newest DLP chipset, that also fits your budget.
 
Just checking - you actually looked at some of these right? (just making sure you're not bothered by rainbows)

Those are some pretty big screen sizes. Have you thought about front projection at all?

 
You might save a bit by moving down to a 46", which is still big. Otherwise, just get the latest model and see if it has HDCP copy protection support for the inputs.
 
I would wait and see what other new models come out this year. The 1080p TV's are out now and more are on the way. Depending on the price, Sony's SXRD TV's might be interesting.
 
my old roommate bought last years 46" samsung DLP, and I thought it looked pretty damn sweet. thats what made me choose samsung...I don't know much about the other brands, but he swears by it, thats why I came here for suggestions and possibly other options. Sony's always seem overpriced, so not worth it too me...anyone here own any of these TV's?
