I think the picture quality on a DLP is as good if not better than LCD.
The lamps are the only issue you have to worry about and I have my issues with all the talk of having to replace lamps so quickly.
If you don't need a tv that takes up a small space, then DLP is a good choice because the price difference is so dramatic.
TV's are pretty much a pitfall though. For ours we paid $800 on Black Friday, which to me is an excellent deal. It's only 720p but I could give two shits about 1080p right now. I don't have HD service and I'm not about to pay for it. OTA broadcasts are no higher than 1080i, and my tv pics that up just fine. Additionally, I'm not about to invest in the HD DVD revolution right now; it's just not worth getting into atm.
None of what I have now will go into my dedicated "entertainment room", when I build my house next year. This is all going to stay as the living room setup for music and TV and some DVD. The entertainment room will be a dedicated HT room, built from ground up. I'm already researching construction of a HT room... and luckily my father in law (who is a contractor) will be building my house, and he's done a few HT rooms; one for a person on the Olympic committee. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/eek.gif.771b7a90cf45cabdc554ff1121c21c4a.gif
