DLP or Plasma

Is an LCD the flat screen? I know, maybe a dumb question but I'm not all that knowledgable about TVs... Have a 35" Sony flat screen TV, I can watch TV easily from most angles.

"Flat screen" has several meanings.

- Originally, CRT screens were curved vertically and horizontally.

- Then some came out that were flat vertically, but still curved horizontally. Of course the marketing droids advertised these as "flat".

- Then, CRTs came out that really were flat. (I have one downstairs.)

LCDs/Plasma/etc are always flat, so the term "flat screen" is really ambiguous.

Slappie,

I recommend visiting www.avsforum.com. You'll be able to find info on every kind of television out there to help you make your decision. I voted DLP but mine is two years old and in dark scenes I have trouble w/ "rainbow effect". If I move my eyes quickly across the screen I see red/blue/green lines that can get annoying.

The picture in HD is stunning though, and while watching regular DVDs through a Samsung upconvert player. Here is a screen shot of Arrested Development.

I have a 50" samsung DLP that I like quite a bit. However, if I had the money, I would have bought a sony SXRD. Best picture on the market as far as I am concerned.
