I'm remodeling the house and I'm not sure which kind of TV to get... Plasma, LCD, or Rear Projection TV. These are the TVs that I'm looking at which one should I get?

Panasonic 58" Plasma TV

Toshiba 65" DLP Rear Projection TV

Sharp 52" LCD TV

Thanks guys... I just ordered a Panasonic 58" plasma already. That's exactly what I thought was best choice. It also has a PC input port so I'm going to test silkroad on it for the hell of it hahahaha.


OK next question, should I get a HD-DVD or Blu-ray? Blu-ray drives costs around $499 so should I put in $100 more and get Playstation3 since it has built-in Blu-ray?

PS3. Awesome games(the few that are out at least), a computer itself, and Blu-ray.

There's not really much difference.

*Plasma are usually cheaper than LCD with comparable size.
*LCD can't render true black color.
*Plasma has a much higher contrast ratio as a result of it
*Plasma screen can suffer from burn-in, while LCD are immuned.
*LCD has a limited viewing angle, while Plasma doesn't.
*LCD images can ghost during fast moving action.


I'm sure there are others but those are all I can think of.

I got a 56 DLP and it is the SHIT man. I would go with the DLP if I were you bro. They have longer hours before blowout and they can be fixed instead of thrown away when the bulb goes after like 80k hours of use. Plus there have NO SCREEN BURN-INs. DLP man... DLP.
