The DLP is the best I have seen and I thank Plasma is too much money for what you get and . I have a Sony 60" and sit about 11ft away and it is a very clear picture. I also have a Mitsubishi DLP projector with a 65"x116" screen and it too is very clear. The only thing about the projector is the lighting in the room. With the Sony you dont worry about that. But as far as price the Sony would be the best. I like Sony but some people dont. Just dont forget that when you are looking at a TV in a store the picture is set very high to grab your eye. Just take your time and do your home work. Good luck.
