Don't forget you have to buy a bulb when it goes out. My moms went out after only 2 years of moderate use and the bulb is 150 bucks. Got a great deal on my 50 in plasma, so Im sure there are some deals out there for bigger ones too.

a $150 bulb is cheaper than a $1000+ tv when ur plasma or lcd goes out.

i got my 57" mits DLP 1080p tv. i can watch it with all the windows open and the sun glaring in with no probs. it runs over 60fps @ 1080p. comes with a bagillion video imputs, and 2 HD receivers. i got a killer deal on it last black friday.

Also keep in mind that you can get a killer open box deal on sets after xmas and especially after the super bowl. Full warranty and everything.

our projection tv has been great since we got it, and we bought it second hand. honestly, i thought the angle thing would be a big deal, but it turns out to not have been.

The new plasma TVs average lifetime are 7-10 years...LCDs are probably longer. Most people are replacing their TVs after that amount of time anyways...I know I do. I have never owned a TV 10 years. There are no issues with burn in as long as you are not stupid. You would have to leave a videogame or CD on pause for 24+ hours. Most TVs have a built in feature to shut the TV off after no activity. Mine does it after 3 hours if the volume or channel is not changed.

I own 2 Plasma TVs (42 and 50 inch) and have zero issues.

Have a BIG Toshiba DLP and no issues with any game play or anything. Had it for awhile now with no problems...
