Like other have said, it all depends on your wants and needs. If you want a larger TV (over 42") you can either go with a plasma, or pay a little less and go with DLP. And between those, if you want it to mount on the wall, then you would choose Plasma. If you have a TV stand then go with DLP. DLP is a rear projection and has a deeper black than LCD. If you want smaller than 42", then definately go with an LCD. Make sure that whatever you get it's 1080P.
