When everything works, big-screen HDTVs deliver images with rich color and fine detail. For this review, our Test Center examined TVs with screens measuring 50 or 52 inches diagonally. Five were plasma TVs with bright images, rich colors...and price tags of up to $9000; three were Digital Light Processing rear-projection sets. While bulkier than plasmas, DLP sets are far slimmer than tube-based TVs--and, at $3000 to $4000, cheaper than plasmas."</i><br /><br />It seems pointless to do a round-up of plasma and DLP TVs without giants like Sony and Samsung providing sets (they weren't ready in time for the article), but this is a good overview of the differences between the two technologies.
