DLP TV’s are projection. The little girl in the TV commercials that say’s “It’s the mirrors” are DLP’s. Mostly from what I’ve heard is the same thing about Plasma’s, but you will get a variety of opinions. LCD’s are the best way to go but you will spend the most on LCD and to get 1080p in LCD is going to cost you A LOT more than this Samsung. Every Samsung product I’ve had, whether it’s a cell phone or radio, I’ve been happy with. You really can’t go wrong with Samsung, Sony, or LG, but you will pay more for those brands. You will find people that say they love Olevia, and you will save money with that brand. As whether to go with a Plasma, DLP or LCD you will find a few on here say it’s subjective and depends greatly on what room in the house you put it in. Right now I’m leaning towards this TV, but overall it’s either going to be an LCD or DLP. You probably can’t go wrong either way, but LCD’s are about 10 inches thinner.
