Have a DLP and love it. The picture quality is by far the best (IMO). Looks "natural" versus "digital."

Also the DLP doesn't take up much space versus a regular projection TV. More than a plasma or LCD, though.

Unfortunately, LCD looks digital (as it is and especially if you are close). Need something that is "analog" versus a digital source on a digital display.

Plasma was too expensive when we looked (could get a huge DLP for a small fraction of the cost of a dinky Plasma).

Off angle viewing of the DLP is not an issue for us either.

Most monitors are 1080p, now. And most probably have a tuner and cable card. Unfortunately, chances are good that both won't be used if you use cable or satellite. And these items add cost to the monitor. Still the tuner can be hooked up to an antenna for over the air reception of local stations. This is nice.

We have Comcast and are pretty happy with the HD offering. Each premium station, HBO, Cinemax, etc. come with an HD version of one of their stations. And Comcast receive and rebroadcast the local stations in HD.

Most local primetime shows are now in HD. And a couple of the news stations are HD, now.

Via Comcast we get INHD, INHD2, PBSHD, DiscoveryHD, TNTHD, ESPNHD, ESPN2HD plus the local stations.

The quality is stunning.

As for audio, don't know much about wireless surround systems. Unfortunately, the best solution is to run wires.

Shop around!
