I ve my eye set on either one of this 2 TV

Sony Bravia DLP 55" or Sony Bravia 46"

DLP has 1280*720 Ress and LCD has 1366*768 Ress

Both have HDMI, PC etc etc

Havent seen a DLP personally... im just wondering which has the best image ? and longevity
 
First question...is this for a tv or do you plan to hook up a pc?

If pc is out of the picture and you want the best quality for tv/movies then plasma is still where it's at. DLP's absolutely blow for anything other than HD content (imo) and lcd's still have not matched plasma for black levels and color accuracy. Plasma tends to do the best job with regular SD programming while being unmatched for dvd watching/HD broadcasts. Panny or Pioneer would be my choices for the best black levels in the business. If you ruled out plasma because of the myths surrounding them....then :p if it is because you plan to hook up a pc then disregard my smiley.
 
I have a 50" Samsung DLP and I love it. I have had it for over 3 years. I will probably buy another DLP in the near future. Going to move this one to my beach house and buy a 60 to 65 incher for home. I am pleased with the black levels, as well as the standard def programing. As the previous gent stated, HD is where DLP really shines. One thing I really like about it is that I do not see much pixelation when there are a lot of 'moving pixels" on screen such as a close shot of moving water. I have noticed on some displays such images cause major pixelation.

Hope this helps
 
yah if your gonna be using it with a PC your basically down to just LCD. If not plasma provides the best image quality, DLP isnt bad except for size and you have to watch for the sets that have the rainbow effect.
 
I'd say DLP for sure. It has better image quality, color, and it is easy to fix if something happens with it. I own LCD's and DLP's, and I actually prefer the picture of DLP. I have the Samsung 46'' DLP (2nd gen), and it doesn't experience the 'rainbow' effect like many people spew DLP still has. The first gen were horrible for it, but now DLP has pretty much been perfected, unless you get a cheap brand. The best thing to do is go to the store and see which ones you like best. I find the Samsung DLP produce the best images. Oh, I've never had a bulb burn out in a DLP yet, and I've owned them for 3+ years.
 
eh, I have seen 2nd and 3rd generation Samsung dlp's at my store. I move 1 foot from center and darkness begins to envelop the screen. It is accurate in colour and of course the motion is great as it is mimicing a real live theatre.

the angles are crappy though. Anything besides computer usage, plasma is a good thing. Price on dlps though make them win if that is an issue.

lcd's are overpriced for what you get. Only reason to get one is if you use it for a computer monitor.
