RE: [OT] Plasma/DLP

Is being 'low profile' one of your requirements, or the ability to view
from
all angles?  If they are, then I would say it would have to be plasma
(though some of the RP's are very good these days).  Panasonic &
Pioneer
generally get the best reports, though it's very subjective. You're looking
for a lot of connects there; you'd certainly need an off-board tuner or
scaler, unless you have the facility to hide all the wires running to the
plasma. At least you don't need SCART, which is of course the most evil
designed-by-committee lead to ever exist.

Personally I'd recommend Richer Sounds as a supplier (that includes the
extended warranty), but you might want to demo the screen somewhere else.

Given a budget of upto 2.5K, what would be considered the best option
between a Plasma TV or Rear Projection DLP?  Of the two options, are there
any particular brands/models to look out for?

The requirement is for      42" +
At least 2 RGB I/P
At least 2 further S-Video/Composite I/P
At least 1 Component I/P (Prog or
interlaced?)
At least 1 PC I/P (Analogue and/or DVI)
Single or Dual tuner (Digital not
necessarily required)
Speakers are not necessarily required.

TIA.
