Sony does not use DLP because it is not a better technology. It is cheaper to produce and thus the TV's tend to cost less with DLP.

well it depends what you are comparing to... a "better technology" than what? a traditional flatscreen? hell yes it is, i would say from selling tvs for a while that dlp has a better picture than most anything you can buy

Much better than projection, yes.

I personally like the picture of LCD and plasma better, however. To each his own though with their preference.

umm i am a Plasma, and DLP fan. LCD is nice just pricy for the size you get. DLP ther is a sony that is 60Inch i beleive expensive as hell though.

No Sony does not use the DLP technology. However they do use LCD and another much newer technology called LCOS, which in some ways is better than the DLP technology.

Their SXRD line uses LCOS and is a bit on the pricey side but since your bro gets a huge discount you should definetly ask him about it.

Price? I sell the 50'' Samsung DLP and the 50" Sony LCD for both the same price. LCD does get pricey when it comes to flat panel tho.

 

[swimfreak26 10+ year member]

Is there an LCD that's not flat panel?

All this is some what irrelevant.

There are different quality Plasma's, LCD's, DLP's and CRT's.

Some LCD's look like complete ASS. As well as some DLP's and some Plasma's. It all depends on how much you want to spend.

Fujitsu Plasma's are some of the best around right now, where samsung's DLP technology leaves everyone else in the dust.

Yeah, LCD projection. Like DLP projection

Sony {LCD, etc} is competing with Texas Instruments {DLP patent owners},

Sony is too snobby to pay TI royalties thus would never use DLP. /hehe

I think CRT looks best still. Too many flaws with the other technologies if you

are a videophile. I'd rather buy DLP though unless they can make faster responding

LCD's otherwise action looks horrible in LCD. Plasma is very cool but expensive and

starts dying as soon as it's turned on.

Pick the less of the two weivels {Russel Crow}.
