The problem with DLP's is the viewing angle.

It's much narrower than either LCD or plasma. Something like 45 degrees off center and the picture begins to fade. With LCD, you have about 175 degrees total. If you can sit in the sweet spot that's great. And DLP's they're much cheaper than either LCD's or plasmas. And remember, there's a bulb that needs periodic replacement.

Personally, I don't think you can tell squat about how accurate the picture can be by viewing a TV in the store. Usually they're in "Vivid" or some other hopped up mode to make the picture stand out. Like loudspeakers, the only way you can really tell how they'll perform for you is to take them home. Unfortunately it's not that easy with a 60" plasma. But most stores have return privileges.
