Introduction to High-End TVs



FiringSquad has an excellent introduction to various types of high-end TVs from plasma, LCD, Lcos, and DLP, everything is covered. I personally like plasmas the best with its rich colors and dark blacks, but if you want true HDTV and some money left over you'll probably have to get one of the projection models.

For most people, DLP and LCD based technology offers the best balance of performance, price, and reliability. Neither technology is inherently superior to the other so you will need to do some shopping. DLP TV's look better in daylight, however the rainbow effects can be problematic for those sensitive to it.
