Good. I don't understand why people would spend that much money on a Projection TV

I have a 61" Samsung DLP 1080p that I paid 27 hundred for in October. I think rear-projection tvs get more bang for the buck. A 61" flat panel was round 4 G at that time. Plus no chance of image burn and they usually last longer in general.

I think unless you have a tiny studio apartment or something theres no reason for a flat panel tv

I had a Toshiba DLP that was pretty nice. I like my current Samsung 1080p DLP better (HL-S6187W, maybe the same as yours, haus), but the Toshiba was their first DLP and was great for what I paid (2300). I still prefer the picture of a DLP compred to a plasma . . . except for the REALLY expensive ones, I'd stick with a DLP hands down. Aside from HD DVD, I'm a big fan of Toshiba.

When they stop producing HD DVD players, THAT will be news!

DLP's are awesome. Better color and picture for the dollar.

Until I can get a 65in or larger 1080p LCD for around $2000, I will stick with DLP.

Until I can get a front projector setup, I think I'll be sticking with DLP.
