LCD Vs. Plasma Vs. DLP:
Forbes has a decent article about LCD Vs. Plasma Displays. Having interned at Samsung in their Digital Consumer Electronics group, I have been following this market for some time. Most in the industry think that LCD will win the day, you can see that through the joint venture announced by Sony & Samsung... but surprisingly Penelope Patsuris left DLP TVs out of her discussion.

DLPs (Digital Light Processor) televisions are rear projection TVs that use Texas Instrument's DLP chips to generate an incredibly great picture while only having a depth of about 19 inches. Samsung essentially owned this market last year but recently Gateway and RCA have entered the market in a major fashion. RCA showed off a DLP TV at the consumer electronics show this year that was about 7 inches deep and could be hung on a wall.

While everyone is betting on LCD for the future, ask any Best Buy sales person, and they will tell you DLP is the hottest TV out there. While I won't bet against the continual improvement and price drops in LCD, I think too many are counting DLPs out too soon.
