I'm asian so of course I'm down with Sony. However, Panasonic has always been able to match up with Sony in terms of quality and their prices tend to be 20-30% less than Sony's.
We looked at Plasma and then looked at DLP and said hell with plasma. I don't like the idea of spending thousands of dollars on something that isn't repairable. And we got a 52" DLP for the price of the 42" plasma. I can't tell the difference in picture from viewing difference, but then I'm not really picky either. Anything with component input looks awesome to me.
We figured, we're not going to hang it on the wall and we've got the room, may as well get the bigger DLP HDTV.
DLP is the way to go right now. It'd the best bang for the buck but we want a TV to hang on the wall in the family room so will look at a plasma or LCD when the time comes.
It really depends on what you are going to use it for. I just bought a 32 inch Samsung LCD for my computer room. Just using it for games/pc/movies. It really looks incredible.
Finally getting rid of the dinosaur in your family room?
Inside each person lives two wolves. One is loyal, kind, respectful, humble and open to the mystery of life. The other is greedy, jealous, hateful, afraid and blind to the wonders of life. They are in battle for your spirit. The one who wins is the one you feed.
Plasmas have better color than LCDs in my experience, whiter whites and blacker blacks... DLP just has a weird look to it that gives me a headache after a while as well.
