I have both a Plasma and a DLP TV. The decision on the best direction to go really depends on the size and the space you want to put it in. My DLP is 61" and I don't think they even make a Plasma that size, or it would be cost prohibitive if they did. Picture quality is pretty good, excellent for DVDs and HD programming but not that good for a standard analog cable signal. The best bang for the buck for Plasma is Panasonic. We have a 37" Panasonic hanging on the bedroom wall, looks great. I think it looks better than the DLP but it is also smaller so that is an advantage for picture quality. Also has the built in tuner etc.. so no need for the cable box.

I think CNET (cnet.com) has excellent reviews on televisions and explanations on how the technologies differ.

Good Luck!
