1. Plasma now have less burn in and longer pixel brightness then standard CRT TVs.
2. Both have limited life spans by reliability reports but both are new technologies at this size and use. The current models realiabilities will not be known for years to come. Iu have plasmas at my office that have been going for over 4 years and they have almost never been turned off. I have seen others explode within a year. User error cuased that though.
3. You will find just as many people that like each from all levels experience.
4. The reality is that at this point, the arguments of each technologies design differences effect the end result is useless. There will be far more difference LCD to LCD then from an LCD that is identicly capable as a plasma.
5. DLP is not yet a flat panel technology like either LCD or Plasma.
6. DLP is the new hot button. It is no more superior to LCD then plasma is to it. They are all just different meathods of accomplishing the same end, a great picture. Although not seen in standard home video formats, for data projection, DLP sucks. The yellows become green in most models. This is not true of the better DLP projectors that are still $50,000+ at my cost.
Eventualy one screen type may become better then another but this is just no the case yet. I would say the plasmas look superior but that is only my opinion. Not to mention I get to look at a $15,000 Pioneer Elite Plasma all weekend
. There aren't manyLCDs in that price range to compare to. Whats interesting is that many of the new fad technologies that were supposed to be the next best thing have been all but abandoned or remained used by only one company. LCOS comes to mind. Even its creators have pushed it aside.
