I an in overload trying to decide between Plasma, LCD and RP.

I keep going back to RP because of what I can get for my money.

My questions are:

I thought RP had no burn in issues but this thread has a burnin sticky. Is burnin really an issue with RP? What gets burned??

Is DLP or LCD or Lcos the better way to go?

How much does the viewing angle really matter. For you owners does it really cause much issue?

The guy at BB said RP HDTV bulbs are not easy to replace and you cannot easily order one or find a replacement. Is this true?

I love the pictures i have seen but it seems like all the talk is about Plasma and LCD. Why not as much hype about rcd?

Thanks for the help!!

You do get the the largest tv for the price with rear projection.
You can get new bulbs when necessary, so far, easily and replacement is also easy. Five years from now, who knows?
You don't get burn in with DLP.
You have to be seated at eye level for best rear projection picture, there is pretty good side clarity with most.
TV's seems to be moving to LCD. Plasma is pretty much on the outs due to burn in and large electric comsumption.
Rear projection seems not to be the focus of innovation anymore, manufacturers seem to be moving to LCD.
All my opinions, but based on much reading and observing.
