I don't think it's off topic at all. Some HDTV sets have memory slots =

At some point, I'd like a nice, high-res HDTV for digital photo =

Buy and compare the DLP and LCD sets yourself.

You would be right if he had asked about viewing digital images on HDTV, =

he didn't. Besides, he'll get better answers on a HDTV group.

Neither is this group a travel agency but that doesn't stop people from
asking where they can go to take pictures.
Just leave me be Joseph and hopefully you haven't thwarted my attempt
to attract those who have taken the expensive plunge.
If you have, well, I'll just have to repost.

Ummmm...nope. Try the DVD newsgroups, too. At least it wouldn't be as
off-topic.

Asking advice on where to take pictures is totally on-topic. How is that so
hard to understand?

Rant on. More feedback the better.
thanks

DLP looks fabulous, however, I did not have room for one. Note, DLP
only looks fabulous in a narrow cone directly in front of the screen.


I find this is true for standard rear-projections, but the DLP monitors I've
looked at in stores are much easier to view from wider angles. Not only
that, they're much shallower & lighter than rear-projections - less than 2
feet deep. I wonder if you've mixed the 2 up since you say you don't have
room for one.

That would be what you see when you use a projector, not a decent plasma.

the pixels
are tooo big so it runs the HDTV quality, the LCDs and DLPs are much
better.

Not on a decent plasma.

With LCD projectors, you do get a slight separation between pixels due to
actual wires present in the LCD panel.

But...With DLP, there are no wires, since it uses a series of tiny mirrors
to create its image. This results in slightly less precision, but a more
smooth image.
DLP is great for moving video, and can be excellent for projeting digital
images.

Plasma screens have a relatively limited life-span, and definitely suffer
from a large pixel look. It's one of those "neat flat things,", but it
looks like low-res crap compared with a decent tube-based or projection
HDTV.
