Yes... compared to the price and problems with LCD and Plasma TV ... and if you want a BIG SCREEN ( as big as your room and wall will allow ) a good quality, and high resolution DLP projector is the way to go.
Only use your old TV set to watch regular TV news or shows that don't matter.
Use the DLP projector for movies or TV shows that are worth to watch on the projector.
The ( RAINBOW EFFECT ) problems of the DLP projectors are not as bad as they use to be, some manufactures fixed that problem by speeding up the color wheel.
Now if you got mega dollars, you can get a 3 chip, prism DLP projector around $ 25,000 - $ 29,000.

There are DLP projectors that have 3 chips, one for each primary color ( RED, YELLOW, and BLUE ) and instead of having a color wheel to produce the colors, it separates the light with a prism, then sends each chip a primary color spectrum of light to that chip, great clarity, color quality, and reliability.

I asked at the start of the thread why anybody woudl buy a DLP (Projector) over LCD or plasma? I guess there are some sound reasons as mentioned in this htread.
However, the one major drawback I see is the "angle of viewing problem", i.e., if you are up, down, left or right of dead even center and eye level, the picture gets worse and worse.
Plasma and LCD have no such problem as you can view it at off angles and still see 100% or near 100% top picture capability.
Right?
Wrong?
Anyone?
