      I have a couple plasmas. Save your $, get a nice DLP. They are also thin compared to a normal tv.
      Sig too big

                DLP ?????

                the reason I want a plasma is for space issues

                It is going to be hung over a fireplace in the living room

                  Shit people agree with me! If you are hanging it over a fireplace, lcd or plasma may be your only choice.

                    Yep I agree with Brad.

                    This is the one I am getting whenever I have time to go out and do some shopping.

                                  thats really a terrible spot for a tv

                                  you should be seeing the center of your screen at eye level from your usual sitting position for the best viewing experience

                                  but dont take my word for it, ask boneprone how he likes his plasma tv mounted over his fireplace

                                                  what's the max resolution on your HDTV projection brad?

                                                      Pioneer produces the highest quality display of them all, be ready to spend 10k-12k but it is well worth it.

                                                        My screen is 100" with a rigid frame, it hangs on the wall like a picture, doesnt roll down

                                                        My projector is an Integra DLV-100, DLP, HDTV ready with 1024x768 native resolution. Ceiling mounted, with the signal running thru a viewsonic video processor that makes anything I connect to it, convert to 1024x768 progressive scan, that way the projector has a crystal clear image in its native resolution, with no artifacting or aliasing.

Unless plasma displays can miraculously adapt and compete in terms of longevity, brightness, (true) contrast ratio, power consumption and burn-in, the technology is on its way out. As LCD displays become cheaper, faster and more competitive, plasma will be seen for the stop-gap that it truly is."

                                                                      "What?s Next?

Unless plasma displays can miraculously adapt and compete in terms of longevity, brightness, (true) contrast ratio, power consumption and burn-in, the technology is on its way out. As LCD displays become cheaper, faster and more competitive, plasma will be seen for the stop-gap that it truly is."

                                                                              My projector is an Integra DLV-100, DLP, HDTV ready with 1024x768 native resolution. Ceiling mounted, with the signal running thru a viewsonic video processor that makes anything I connect to it, convert to 1024x768 progressive scan, that way the projector has a crystal clear image in its native resolution, with no artifacting or aliasing.

                                                                              Does it have to be a pitch black room to look good?

Move too far to the right or left and your screwed. If your primarily going to be looking at the screen straight on its a fantastic picture though.

                                                                                      The DLP technology is owned by Texas Instruments and is the primary reason that company's stock has doubled in the last 6 months.

Got them hooked up to a surround sound system in my bedroom with one of those touchscreen remotes and a DVD changer and it's a nice toy to have. I love them and you can get a non HD one for under $2500 now if you don't care about having the ultimate quality and just want a plasma.

Will go good with my Denon AVR-3802 (paid $2600 Canadian when I first bought it) reciever.. Will probably upgrade to a Denon AVR-5803 later on http://www.denon.com (True high current recievers) Kicks some serious ass!
