Overall, a DLP’s picture will not “pop” as much as an high end LCD, but that “pop” is often unrealistic so I’m cool with it. I still need to calibrate it though. So it will only get better 🙂 ---

the only DLP worth buying is a 100" + screen with a projector. all others to me are a waste ---

Specific bulb issues has nothing to do with the technology being a POS. watching DLPs doesn’t mean you have experience with them. I had a 3 year old SONY DLP that completely died and I still stick up for DLP. You may then ask me “why?” Cause I know my shit and I know calling all DLPs “POS” is incredibly stupid. ya, still looks like ignorance to me. Do you know how they work? Do you know the actual advantages and disadvantages of them? I’m talking modern DLPs, not 4-5 years ago either. I’m sure you don’t, but somehow still think you know enough to label them all POS. If you did know your shit then you wouldn’t be making these crazy accusations. Anyone that knows anything about TVs will give a good amount of credit to DLPs. I’ll never say they are better than LCD/Plasma, but newer ones can be just as good and had for WAY less. DLP is a dying technology, but it’s not dead yet and current models are awesome. You sound like a lame best buy salesman… trying to make LCD/Plasma seems godly so you get more commission. ---

I was on a tight budget at the time and was not going to replace old tv (55 incher) with something smaller, so my options were limited. If I wasn’t on a budget at the time then I probably would have gotten something outrageously over the top. so in a way, I’m glad I was on a budget. ---

Im not completely in the loop as of how DLPS work… other than the basic projection aspects… but I must say for the price DLP’s are very very nice… They are not as bright as an LCD or plasma… but a few DLPs i have seen seem to render colors and shades better than LCD/Plasma… ---

They mess with those tvs horribly. Either feeding them subpar signals, messing with their settings, and/or usually putting them in the furthest corners of the showroom. Every single salesmen will be happy to point out all the disadvantges of a DLP and point you to an LCD/Plasma instead (they get more commission). A properly setup DLP will be just as good as any LCD/Plasma. ---
