than my neighbors new 55" Samsung LCD.
LCD's just don't look right to me. No depth, artificial. The dreaded 'soap opera effect'.
I wish they hadn't stopped making LCD projectors and DLP, but everyone wants a one inch screen depth.
Plasma's a pain in the butt (screen burn-in, buzz, lack of brightness) but it's about the best we have now.
I have high hopes for OLED. I'd like to buy a tv I like better than one that's 6 years old.

Follow Ups:
turn down the sharpness on the flat screen monitors? Most are set way to high and give that cartoonish picture. That used to be the recommendation even for the rear projections sets. The sharpness control tends to pull the color to the color boundary edge and takes away from the gradation of colors, particularly blacks.
Setting the sharpness at factory settings is impressive under fluorescent store lighting, but suck for the more subdued lighting at home. In the rear projection days, they used to warn that changing the sharpness took the set 30 minutes to settle down, so if you change the settings, let it sit for a while and wait for the computer to catch up. The picture quality usually increases noticeably, and with greater detail too.

Mitsubishi is still making Dlp's , last year I replaced my 64" Pioneer Elite pro700hd with a 73" Dlp and love it, It has better veiwing angles than lcd and is plenty bright with nice depth to the image. The set is only 17 inchs deep, which when you think about it your average component rack or tv stand is you guessed it 17-19" deep. These can be had in sizes from 73,82 up to 92"(its a beautiful beast)with hard to beat prices. New models are slated for 2013, If you love film and movies get a Dlp.
Isn't it a little early for that?

Every year around this time they announce the new models, my 2010 73738 is only a year old with the last run of the year production date of May 2011, got it at a great price due to the 2011 models being released.
Sorry! just realized what I did, I meant the 2012 models.
long day!
Wow, Mits is doubling down, aren't they?
I will have ZERO chance to ever see one of these in a store. No one is stocking DLP's anymore.
Too bad.

I think Paul's TV chain carries them.
Head on over to AVS forums and go to the rear projection forums for current model numbers are ( I have the 73738) 2010 numbers are 63,73,82, ending in 638-838/ 2011 640-840 ranging from 73, 82, 92 inches , numbers for 2013 742-842 , 73-92 inches. you may find somewhere close to your area to see one and then order on line from Amazon or others or buy from a store if you find one. this of course is if you decide to get one.
We have a Sony LCD and a Sony rear projection (XRD) TV. To my tastes the rear projection has a better picture even though it is older and now less prefered technology.
I LOVED my SXRD until the light engine went south. Why did they have to use PLASTIC filters?
Too much is never enough
The biggest problem with rear projection (besides being huge), is the lack of off axis viewing. Get more than about 45 degrees off axis, and they look like they are off. Extremely narrow viewing area.
Non-issues with my Samsung plasma in my situation. Definitely no noise at all coming from the TV, not even close up. Burn-in, none that I know of. Brightness, no problem at all in my sunroom (sunny!) or living room.
No problems with my Panasonic, either.
My experience as well. I've never seen and LCD that matched the performance of plasma.
"screen burn-in, buzz, lack of brightness"
I don't see any of these as issues with my three Panasonic Viera plasmas.

Our Sony, NX800(?), has several settings, some of which do induce a soap opera effect. We found one that doesn't and has no jittery motion artifacts. Still, I much prefer the Panny Plasma (and it's a low end model). Overall picture quality, especially fleshtones, is less artificial.
