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?
i don't like projection TV's due to the sheer size of them or how the viewing angle has to be perfect to get the best picture. they also don't seem to handle bright rooms as well as LCD does (plasma is the worst there though) so for me the extra $$ was worth it to go with my Sony Bravia
