If you don't, then DLP is the way to go IMHO. |
Like me... its okay most of the time, but the white used for such things as hockey ice looks like multi colored crap to me.

Based on the research I did when buying it about the only thing that can wrong is a bulb can burn out, which is an inexpensive repair that you can do yourself. With plasmas and LCDs if you develope picture problems the repairs are so high you're better off just buying a new TV.

The halflife of Plasma and LCD TV's are way longer than CRT (tradional) TV's. Life span is not an issue.
