I want a big one... like 61" to 65". But I can only get those in projection it seems. If I go LCD, the biggest one I can find is 52" for almost $5,000...not happening. So is LCD really that much greater? Or is 1080p gonna look just as good on that 65" DLP projection screen for $2,000 less?

DLP gives a better picture than LCD. LCD is popular becuase of its slim size and is not prone to burn in like plasam. DLP gives better blacks, has no screen door effect, has Zero chance of burn in and is cheaper. And the new DLP sets aren't as big as they use to be. My samsung 50" DLP set is only 15" deep and weights about 65lbs.

There is a Sony Grand Wega Rear Projection (I think) with full 1080p that costs only around $2000. Search for the TV, and you'll find out. Minimum is 50 inches, i remember

though with those rear projections i hear the bulbs only last 2 years at which the price for a new buld is around $300-400... ive been contemplating on the 40" Samsung 40" S4095D LCD 1080p or a 1080p rear projection...  what would be the best considering price and picture quality
