What's better in hd? LCD or DLP?
 

I'm trying to decide between buying a Sony Wega LCD HD tv and a Samsung DLP HD tv.

I currently have a DLP HD tv, and it's not bad at all. So the question is..is there a noticeable difference and/or improvement in an LCD HD tv or DLP?

P.S. Yes..I know..plasma is the best route to go..but have a line on a couple of good buys on these lcd & dlp tvs.

Thanks!

dlp is cheaper than LCD

The toss up on DLP/LCD is this. LCD are smaller and more compact, however dlp can offer a better viewing angle.

As long as you can deal with the size of the dlp I think that "dollar for dollar" you will get a better tv with dlp.

with LCD if you drop a pixle you have to replace the whole screen, plus it's more fragile. with dlp you can touch the screen and if the bulb blows it usually costs you $500. much less than an LCD bulb which can be a thousand

LCD wouldn't buy a DLP at all. And there's a $100+ bulb you have to replace with DLPs every time it burns

I went with a old fashion crt widescreen for hd and it rocks

But what are the chances that you are going to do this with an LCD? I mean, are they notorious for this happening? I hear lcd gives a much brighter pic than dlp and Sony is touting this new dtv that is supposed to replace ntsc broadcasting in 2006 (Sony has the Wega LCD HD).

But I much prefer the smaller sizes of the lcd & plasmas over the old crts.

I think you are confusing LCD TV's with LCD rear projection TV's, which are two different things.

This is just about the best article for the original poster to read. It compares both a Sony LCD and a Samsung DLP.

we just bought a house and I am interested in a new TV as well... something that will hang on the wall... gonna have to research all this as well!

The Sony you are looking at is probably a rear projection LCD, right? So you don't have to worry about replacing any screens. You just replace a bulb just like with DLP.

Yep it is!

Thanks for the link!

Go for the Sony LCD. :thumbsup

I'm leaning that way.

I bought the Sony LCD. I wouldn't even consider DLP.

I would wait for the Sony SXRD 1080p displays. Why buy a 720p when 1080p is comming within a few months.

i have a sony 60" lcd and panasonic 60" DLP - the DLP is better

This place is selling it for a mere $23k!

Oopss..that's for the projector..the tv itself, a 70 incher is going for only a mere $10k!
