In Reply to: Budget Plasma EDTV vs higher-end DLP HDTV? posted by AbeCollins on February 22, 2005 at 15:20:09:
I'm with you on that one.I'm out shopping right now and leaning toward the Samsung DLP. We have an EDTV plasma from Gateway in the living room, (my wife's domain), and have sold our 4:3 50" rear projection that was in our audio / video room, (my domain). I'm very impressed with the little shopping I have done so far and viewing of the rear projection DLP's.
I would like to also add to this the question; "does DLP have any side effects?". I have heard of rainbow effects with DLP. ?? Are these real?
Follow Ups:
I wanted a DLP when I first saw them but I spent hours in many different
stores watching hours of DLP's & plasma's.
I couldn't own either. DV still rules.GTF
DLP is so much better than it was even a year ago. The new Samsung sets are stunning. I've read about this 'rainbow effect' but haven't seen it myself - on the Samsung or Mitsubishi sets I've been looking at.That said, I'm still undecided. I like the idea of an easy to lift 42" Plasma in case I ever want to move it or eventually wall mount it in a bedroom in a couple years.

It's been estimated that between 5 - 10% of the population sees the rainbows on DLP sets. What is usually not mentioned is that many people who say that they don't actually see them are affected by DLP sets in other ways. Symptoms vary, but can be as minor as headaches and eye fatigue to as major as dizziness and nausea/vomiting.So before you decide on a DLP set, spend a good deal of time watching SD, DVD and HDTV material. The more time you spend watching, the better off you will be in making a decision. If you still don't see rainbows, you're half-way there. The other half? The rest of the family.
I'm not trying to steer you from DLP: I just don't want you to make a decision that has the potential to to negatively affect other members of your family -- or you! If neither you nor other family members experience any problems, you're home free.
Just don't try to mount it on a wall...
