What are everyone's thoughts on DLP's? I can get a 56' Samsung S5665W for about $1800 from Costco which strikes me as a decent price.

However, Futureshop has a sale on for the next few days on their Toshiba 42HL167 (for $1699) which is obviously a better TV. Would I be better off to go Plasma/LCD or is a cheaper DLP a viable option? I don't mind spending some money in a few years to replace the lamp but would it be more cost-effective just to get a better TV?

I'm leaning towards the Toshiba right now, it has received some great reviews and that is a pretty decent price for it. Given that it is already on sale, is there any way I could bargain the Futureshop guy down a little/get a bargain on a TV stand?
