For the most bang for your buck, DLP blows all other projection TVs away. The picture quality is superior to LCD and the price is MUCH cheaper. Pay no attention to the "millions of moving parts" nay sayers, the only thing that is going to break on a DLP TV is the bulb. Probably the same exact bulb that is going to go bad in a LCD TV...
More "film like" is an excellent description of DLP compared to LCD. LCD has what is called the "screen door effect" due to the pixels being farther apart. With DLP the pixels seem to almost overlap giving a very soft, very pleasant picture.

DLP is only available as projection, while LCD comes both projection and flat-panel. Also, there are two types of LCD projectors: ordinary LCD and LCOS (reflective). I agree that DLP is superior to regular LCD, but the new Sony SXRD (LCOS) projector provides the best picture available in any set, as far as I've seen.
You have to be wary of the "rainbow effect" in DLP displays: before buying a DLP TV, look at a picture with bright areas and scan your eyes across the screen. If you see a trail of colors, you can see the "rainbow" and you may want to avoid this set. Many people (including me) cannot see these, but some can. For all sets, check off-center viewing of the screen. LCD flat panel in particular can lose brightness and contrast in off-center viewing. Both LCD projectors and DLP projectors are available in "1080p" resolution (they display 1920x1080 pixels on the screen). However, only the Sony SXRD is true 1080p; the DLP sets simulate this resolution with a tecnique called "wobulation". See
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/wobulation...
These DLP sets do provide a high resolution picture that is a little "softer" than the LCD units, but some people find that preferable (more "film like").
You should go look at the set and decide what you like better.

A lot of this depends on your viewing space. As mentioned in other posts, DLP is in projection units and LCD is in both.
By the way, a search of Faculty/Staff at Ohio State University of the allegded professor's name yield this result:
[Querying ds4.net.ohio-state.edu]
[ds4.net.ohio-state.edu]
No exact name matches were found - searching for partial matches
I'm sure no one is surprised.

FORGET HDTV...... I GIVE ANYONE WHO IS WATCHING HIGH DEFINITION TELEVISION ON A VERY REGULAR BASIS A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME BEFORE THEY ARE SUBJECT TO HEADACHES AND DETERIORATION IN EYESIGHT . I AM A PROFFESOR FOR OPTICAL NERVE PHYSIOLOGY AND HAVE BEEN RESEARCHING THIS FOR SOME TIME. THE PICTURES ON A HD TV ARE SIMILAR TO USING HIGH RESOLUTION MONITORS(NOT RECCOMENDED FOR ANY GIVEN LENGTH OF TIME) AND BELIEVE IT OR NOT ARTIFICAIL LIGHT SOURCES SUCH AS FLOURESCENT TUBES, THESE ARE FAR TOO INTENSE. THE ADJUSTMENTS THE OPTICAL NERVE HAS TO MAKE TO FOCUS THIS IS VERY DISTURBING. IN CLINICAL TRIALS OVER LONG PERIODS SUBJECTS HAVE SUFFERED NAUSEA, HEADACHES OF MIGRAINE LEVEL AND DEGREDATION OF THE OPTIC NERVES AND FIBRES. I HAVE HAD LETTERS AND DOCUMENTATION FROM PEOPLE FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD INCLUDING SOME THAT ARE NOW NEEDING GLASSES PERMANANTLY AFTER NEVER NEEDING THEM BEFORE.HIGH DEFINITION TELEVISION MAY BE VERY VERY SHORT LIVED.I AM AWARE THAT THE BRITISH GOVERNMENT ARE CURRENTLY INVESTIGATING THESE FACTS AND OTHER SOURCES AND FINDING THE RESULTS VERY DISTURBING. THANK YOU FOR LISTENING.
