Well that last guy gave an opinion, one which is not widely held. Most people will tell you that DLP has the better picture, but everyone has their own opinion. 1080p is better than 720p, no one can debate that. The biggest drawback to DLP is that they are not thin like plasma or LCD, and can be expensive to repair. Also, what he said about contrast ratio is wrong. DLPs generally have very good contrast ratios.

Well first you need to understand what these things mean. 1080p: the "1080" means there are 1,080 lines of resolution from the top of the screen to the bottom. So obviously 1,080 lines is a lot better than 720 lines. The bigger the TV the more noticeable the difference will become. Then there is the "p", this stands for progressive scan; this is the future vs the old "i" or interlaced. Progressive scan means that the TV can display 60 frames per second vs interlaced which basically displays 30 fps. 1080p is a true High Definition TV and is the best thing you're going to see any time soon. Although the only things that currently use High Definition are Blu-ray and HD-DVD videos and now the PS3 and Xbox 360. Then if you want to enjoy High Definition you will need proper cables, preferably an HDMI or DVI cable; component cables also work.
Now to compare DLP and Plasma. DLP is a projection TV, so it will look better with the lights off vs on and it won't have the viewing angle of a flat panel TV, like a Plasma. With the lights off the DLP should look as good if not better than a Plasma, as long as your not sitting too far off to the side. A good plasma is going to cost more, but you have to consider the fact that you can put it on the wall. Plasmas are a lot heavier and do run a lot hotter though. When it comes to color or contrast ratio, bigger is better; so 6000:1 is better than 3000:1. It is measured as the difference between the brightest and darkest colors on the screen.(1) With the DLP you will have a darker black, but with the Plasma you'll get brighter colors in general. So compare contrast ratios, consider where people will be sitting, and how bright the room is that you'll be putting the TV in. Oh and don't forget to look at the TVs and see which one you think looks better; your opinion does count.
OK, now maintenance and repairs. Generally with a DLP you can keep it working for a long time by replacing the bulb when it gets dim or goes out. The bulb isn't a big deal, but it can take a little work and a couple hundred dollars to replace. With a Plasma, towards the end of it's life you might slowly see the dots or pixels on the screen go black. That's because each dot is like a very small tube TV, so they go out one at a time. At that point you'll probably need to buy a new TV. The bulb in the DLP may not last as long as the Plasma, but it is replaceable. You shouldn't have a problem finding the number of hours the TVs are rated for if you look; ask to see the manual if you need to. If you have any problems besides those ones you're probably looking at buying a new TV. Samsung does make a good TV; not the best, but better than average. Well I hope that helped; good luck!

Plasma has a much, much better contrast ratio, and the pictures will be brighter and look clearer no matter where you are in the room. PS3 games (right now) are only 720p anyway, but Blu-ray disks are 1080p. Still, the plasma picture is much better than DLP. I strongly suggest a plasma. If you can drum up the money, you could get a 50" 1080p plasma instead.

properly, the variations I see in those 2 stereotypes are that emos at the instant are not social in any respect and that they've the all - black element occurring. The scene human beings i've got seen are social and that they often placed on rather vivid colurs. additionally, emos have fringes masking their eyes.
