The comparions are quite accurate, DPL TV are quite cheap to begin with but each bulb only lasts a few years before needing replacement at several hundred dollars a pop. Perhaps the replacement bulb prices will come down before anyone actually needs to do so. It's not a same a changing a light bulb in the kitchen. It needs to be replaced by a serviceman and calibrated. That, I'm sure is more $$$ out of the wallet.

Ah, I didn't know you had experience. (I'll admit I'm largely talking out of my ass.) The page seemed to be slanted, but perhaps Plasma has that much of an advantage? I really dislike the idea of burn-in, so that's why DLP seemed like a good thing to me. Of course, I still have a basic 27" regular TV, and the TiVo degrades that image even a bit more. I'm going to wait it out a couple more years before I make a decision.
