My LCD rear projection has started to go through lamps in a matter of weeks so I am returning the last lamp I am picking up a 50" LCD flat panel tomorrow. I was considering a DLP, which in some respects seems superior in to the other technologies based on the limited reading I've done but in the end I don't want to worry about lamp replacement even if it's only every couple of years. I considered Plasma but have read that they can burn in and fade over time. I'm going to go with a 720p Vizio 50" LCD at Costco. I have no plan to go with an HD-DVD or Blu Ray player so I figured with Comcast HDTV, a 720p should be good enough. At $999 (Friday only) it seems to be an excellent price. Also, Costco gives you a two year warranty.
