LCD is what I would choose but it's because I want to play my 360 on it //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif.

I still like my Elite.... But, I don't play games...

yes the sony xbr line is very nice indeed //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif.

Eh, better can be had for cheaper.

If you want plasma, Panasonic 75 series (720p) or z700 series (full 1080p)

If you want LCD and can afford ALITTLE glare, Samsung 71 or 81 series LCDs

I wish I would have bought the elite. I heard you could trade in your premium through Microsoft for an elite and just pay the difference.

I agree that it's not the cheapest thing by any means but my parents had the money so I just get to enjoy what they made an investment in. I think it looks amazing //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/santa.gif.e1ec9cf2e0a0dd232ad35aa594a126d0.gif

the one they have has a black panel with the glass around it. The manual said sonyxbr2 or sonyxbr3. I always forget if it's a 2 or 3. I usually wanna say it's a 3 though. lol

i have ALWAYS found DLP's to have the best picture, and they are cheaper than LCD or plasma. IMO, the only time you should consider a plasma or a LCD is if you have a situation where you cant sit the TV on the floor or it absolutly has to be mounted on a wall.

plasmas also have relitively short life spans compared to lcd or dlp, and i would rather replace a bulb in a dlp than have to replace the entire tv.

Id take a DLP over all of them. only real +1with plasma or lcd is you can wall mount it.

DLP is overall cheaper and can deliver same if not better quality video. and lamps are replaceable.

oh the non existing view angles are really no longer an issue these days.

I have a Samsung DLP 1080P. The major/main downfall for DLP's is the Picussion/Bow issue when watching in SD/4:3 mode. This has got to be the biggest issue with me that I cannot stand (Caused by screen sagging, near impossible to fix basically). Second is watching SD seems to be a lot crappier compared to LCD's that I've seen. Other then that its not too bad. If I had the money I would get an LCD. Samsung 1080P LCD's price have dropped a lot (1080p@60hz that is).
