Here's an interesting, but some what uninformed article. It's not quite as "anti-plasma" as the title implies.

Originally posted by BobDobalina When a DLP bulb blows (after 8,000 hours, not 2,000) you get a new bulb for a couple hundred bucks and you're back in business. When your Plasma fades out totally then what? Or even hits its half-life in 30,000 hours... And why the LCD hate? They may not have the brightness or size, but they can handle resolutions I haven't seen Plasmas capable of. |

Mostly from cost. I hate being told to buy the more expensive technology because it improves image quality another 10% but costs twice as much. We've gotten stuck with many expensive Kludges because of this. |
Originally posted by technofan \\ The 8000 hours bulb life is what the manufacture claimed. The reality is about a few handred to less than 2000 hours . Check the rptv section and you will get the truth. 5 lamps in 10 years will costs more than $1000. But lets keep it a secret! |
Originally posted by Ou8thisSN I like how the article says the hook for DLP and other technologies is: it lasts longer, no burn in, and better blacks. now most frequent users to thsi forum knows that the current generation 7 of panasonics have all but eliminited the burn in issue |
