Are you drunk? The new toshiba dlps are ranked right near the top in dlps. Yeah go post this over at avsforum and they'll laught at your ass. The new 1080p 195 Toshiba dlps are incredible. The Mits and Sammys have great picture quality also, but a much higher % of complaints compared to the Toshibas.

the new plasma's rock. a year ago they sucked. the new ones are a better bread

Toshiba RULES dlps. Fuck you.

good work

nice TV!

wow! congrats!!!!

Yup for that price I would of done same ;-)

I was reading up on plasmas and dlp's. They seem comparable in terms of how long they last. And while you can replace the bulbs in dlp's supposedly the bulbs are almost as expensive as buying a brand new dlp. So it seems you have to replace both plasmas and dlps eventually and you're not much further ahead with either one. Personal choice I guess.

wow nice TV, congrats

on a 60" DLP
bulbs are about $400
new tv is about $4000

i guess maybe where you live $400 is like $4000.

I didn't remember the info correctly, you're actually right. DLP is actually the better/cheaper buy for lifespan:

LIFESPAN

DLP manufacturers list the backlight bulb hours at around 80,000 hours. What's more, this bulb can be replaced for as little as $200 in some cases. Certain DLP TV displays require a technician to change their bulbs, and this will cost you more than the lamp itself. In other cases, though, the DLP is configured in a way that makes it easy for a layperson to replace burned-out bulbs. It all depends on the make and model of your DLP.

And, since DLP is a mirror and light technology, once the bulb is replaced, the DLP should perform as well as it did when it was brand new.

Plasma, by contrast, uses a small electric pulse for each pixel to excite the rare natural gases argon, neon, and xenon (a k a "phosphors") to produce the color information and light. As electrons excite the phosphors, oxygen atoms dissipate. These rare gases actually have a life and fade over time. Manufacturers of plasma have estimated the life of these phosphors to be about 60,000 hours. The life of the plasma display itself is usually determined by half-life of the phosphors. So at 30,000 hours the phosphors will be at their half-life, and the viewer will be seeing an image that has half the brightness capability that it did when originally purchased. This should be a good point at which to consider its life over. The gases in plasma TVs cannot be replaced. There is no phenomenon of "pumping" new gases into a plasma display.

Advantage: DLP

Dlp bulbs are between $200 - 400 depending on the size of the tv. If you get the full warranty including bulbs when you buy the tv you won't have to worry.

Very true. Plus those 5 - 7 years is if you use it alot. With normal use it's 10+ years.
I have a pioneer 43" plasma since about march and gonna buy the new 50" pioneer in a few weeks.
I checked the new serie from pioneer last weekend and it is amazing. Colors are even better and black is real black on this new screen.

Nice TV....enjoy it! :thumbsup

People keep the same tv for 7 years!!!??! So you gave up 7 years of high end tv for a 8 year plus old tv? yeah smart one bro.

Wow, you guys really care about your tv's.

good choice..DLP is much more practical for a main TV

720p :/

I would have got a good CRT

I have a 29" CRT and it's too big for the room.

A LCD TV on the wall would be nice.

Have you guys heard about the new Sony XBR LCD series?

I heard it blows away ANYTHING else on the market so far

Sadly, I find this comment very wise.

Regardless, we gotta do some biz soon :thumbsup

cool, nice tv dude!

No need . . . he is living in the box that the tv came in.

Freaking nice ass TV man!

lol..I have a 42 inch plasma,along with a 42 inch dick.Go suck off your gay mailer buddy some more and post more pics of your 'lavish' lifestyle and your back waxing techniques :1orglaugh

So that's what, $48 American?

What about those that can afford one but care too much about the environment to buy a "disposable" plasma!

That TV is giving me wood.

And yours is actually in YOUR living room, not from the manufacturer site.
