Exactly. People wouldn't. Sports fans and action movie fans would never buy them, which is why the technology addressed those concerns long ago.
The way I see it is this:
Projection vs Flat panels
-Do you care if your TV looks cool, even when turned off? Flat panel
-Do you have space concerns? Flat Panel
-Do you want a bigger TV for less cost? Projection
I can't speak to the projection debate of LCD vs DLP as I've never shopped for one.
But Flat Panels (I have space concerns) are either LCD or Plasma
-Are you getting a TV less than about 36"? LCD is cheaper
-Are you getting a TV bigger than that? Plasma
-Is one better than the other? Not really. Many give a slight edge to LCD, but buy whatever is cheaper.
People will always defend what they buy. I bought an LCD TV because I was looking for something very slim that wouldn't stick infront of my window looking out to the mountains and I wanted something in the 32" range. Its perfect for what I needed. My parents wanted something that would look cool (they just dumped a whole bunch of money in furniture) for their place and were looking at 40" plus. I suggested a Plasma, and thats what the ended up and they love it. If I was getting something for a basement, probably DLP or plasma, although I prefer flat panel pictures to projection because of the viewing angle and brightness. But thats just me.
