So, that's why the salesman wanted a pint of blood as a down payment?
Love coffee actually. My own!
Ummm, have I told you about my new digital coffee maker?
Never mind...
LCD gives a nice sharp picture for slow moving or static images, Plasma works better for faster programs such as sports.
LCD colors go "wrong" if you get too far off center (walk past an older laptop computer) while plasma colors stay true.
HTH
The web site for DLP is WWW.dlp.com. Go to the demo thingy and it tells about DLP.
The advantage of the DLP sets is that you can use them as giant computer monitors without burning-in the screen, the design avoid convergence problems, and they need little maintenance. (Of course, you can watch high-definition television programs on them too.)
The current Mac mini model is the small white box to the left of the set. The next Mac mini reportedly will include a DVR for recording shows, a DVD player/burner, all of the usual computer and Internet programs, etc., and it can connect to a Samsung DLP set via a VGA connector or DVI connector.
Now imagine surfing Free Republic on a 60-inch screen from your couch.
I have an old fashioned 60" big screen for every day viewing and a HD Commercial PROJECTOR for a few hours a week of special programming or dvds. (12 feet wide) :-)
Plasma is getting better by the way.
I did go to a movie the other day and figured what I had at home created a higher quality picture and wall of sound.
The key is to be patient on what ever you want and to get it all as cheap as possible.
I paid very little for my home set up. Less than the price of a big screen TV for the whole thing.
SHOP and don't have to have your stuff now and you will save money...
It is good you don't have a TV though, it gives you more time to pursue Ann Coulter.
ROFL!
Digital Coffeemaker, huh. I suppose it has a plasma screen read out. Bragger.
Got rid of my perculator just last week.
I knew that. I think it's so strange that you think I didn't know that.
Goodness, you could open up a theatre in your livingroom with that stuff. As a matter of fact, you should. It will help offset the cost.
Ann Coulter? Ann Coulter? Who's Ann Coulter?
It doesn't matter. In five to eight years it will be obsolete and you'll have to buy some even newer technology anyway.
Yes, you input is very helpful. Thank you. I realize I'm going to have to travel to a store to view the two in order to compare. I was hoping I could avoid the hassle, but oh well.
Check out www.plasmacity.com and have a look at the 55" Hitachi and 50" NECs. The price for Hitachi is great, but the 3 year warranty and great reviews here and elsewhere have sold me on NEC.
lawlz.

"Got rid of my perculator just last week."
Is it for sale?
I may have a buyer for it.
Well, if you should ever decide to venture into a Starbucks, be prepared. Oh, if you wish to look like a city slicker go to the toy dept. at WalMart and purchase a faux cell fone :^).
Walk in and pretend you are talking on the phone. You'll fit right in. And should you suffer the same mistake as I, redirect attention. Speak loudly into the phone and pretend the person on the other line caused you to mess up.
I've already sold it to your next door neighbor. By the way, they said your digital coffemaker bugs the heck out of them when you use the auto timer. The gurgling's annoying early in the morning.

The other day, my brother and I were looking at HD plasma TVs side by side with conventional definition LCD and plasma. The difference was stunning, with HD plasma far better than rival technologies. If price were no object. . .
