Well, I went to buy a 42 inch HDTV plasma screen today, but was talked out of it by a friend because he said I should go with the LCD. Which is better out of the three, PLASMA, LCD, or DLP. What about this one below, is it HDTV? Thanks....plus price is an issue.

i bought a DLP(toshiba) almost a year ago and love it. i have heard out of plasma, LCD and DLP, DLP is the lowest quality picture, but i don't see a thing wrong with it. DLPs are typcially bigger than the LCDs and less expensive. plasma is probably the highest quality picture, but they are just too expensive and fragile for me. when you're moving them you have to keep them up right and if you play video games on them, dont play sports games. the scoreboard on madden will get burned into the picture and you can see it faintly.
I've said it in 2 other threads, but I might as well say again here I just returned a 62" Toshiba 1080p DLP turns out that it would not accept a "true" 1080p input so back to Costco, to get the next best thing first off, let me say this ........ if you can get by with not mounting this thing on a wall, then there's no need to spend the extra cash on LCD's. Plasmas are selling at nice prices now, but there are still concerns over 'burn-in' issues I think I found an excellent alternative enter - LCoS many have tried it , many have failed not many manufacturers are still producing LCOS sets JVC calls it HD-ILA and they are being phased out (i think) Sony calls there's SXRD and it's a big hit in Microdiplays it's the best of both worlds really and the images are much crisper than the DLP a 60" Sony Grand Wega KDS-60A2020 should set you back about $2500 a comparable LCD of that size would cost you about $7000 and, imo, the image on an LCD would NOT look any better this thing produces EVERY line @ 1920 x 1080 (1080p) the DLP would not do that (even though it's advertised) and LCD and Plasmas resolutions don't go that high (1,366 x 768p) a REAL good test get the store to hook up a ps3 / blu-ray, etc.. anything capable of 1080p hook up via HDMI to the DLP first then an LCD then the SXRD (or any Lcos for that matter) the biggest thing with Lcos is the absence of "mosquito" and "screen door" effects commonly found on other displays. to me the images are smoother .... more silky ... more like film but I guess it all depends on your budget if you can afford a ceiling of $2500 than I'd recommend the Sony SXRD, and remember I replaced a nice Toshiba 1080p DLP with it if your cap is more like $1500 then I'd go with a Vizio, Panasonic plasma then again size is a factor anything under 46" = LCD anything 50" = Plasma anything over 55" = Lcos (Sony SXRD / JVC HD-ILA) I liked DLP, but the inability to INPUT a 1080p source (ps3) turned me off
