Actually best bang for your buck, if you are looking for size and picture quality is either rear projection (biggest screen size for price and far better picture IMHO than LCD or PLasma) or DLP.
Yes, neither of these are as slim as the LCD/PLASMA screens, but they are far better picture quality, and cheaper.
I agree... I have a 65” Mitsubishi Rear Projection AND a 54” DLP.... Both cost about the same.
The DLP has VERY bright colors.. and, it good to watch. I love it. But, the Mitsubishi is MUCH CLEARER in HD. It’s really stunning. It’s a big TV.. but, I have it in a big room, so it works...
Less money, bigger screen, better picture... Hmnnnn.. tough choice.
