In Reply to: Budget Plasma EDTV vs higher-end DLP HDTV? posted by AbeCollins on February 22, 2005 at 15:20:09:
Look at em side by side in a Best Buy or Circuit City.
Even though plasma EDTV has less resolution than the new DLPs it usually looks better when compared directly.Also be aware if you do lean towards DLP there are two different chip versions: HD2+ and HD3 with HD2+ being considerably cheaper but with less contrast.
The Samsung "pedestal" model has the HD3 chip and that's why it costs $3500.

I've been looking at both Plasma EDTV and HD DLP sets. I thought that HD2+ was actually a higher-end DLP chip than the newer HD3. In any case, there are a couple Samsung models that look stunning... but in a brighter room, the Plasma is still the clear winner.Some will argue that a home theater environment shouldn't be bright and I agree. The reason I mention it though is because which ever set I decide on, it will be placed in a room that is very bright and open during the day.
I'm still undecided but I'm starting to lean toward Plasma EDTV - which still looks stunning to me at a reasonable distance from the screen.... and bright enough for use in open daylight.

Whoops sorry I think you're right the HD3 DLP is cheaper.
Just saw the Panasonic EDTV plasma yesterday and it does look really good. If you're not planning on watching HDTV then it could be fine.

even if he IS planning to watch HDTV it looks fantastic... specially once dialed-in.
