My parents are looking into getting a new TV. Is DLP or LCD the better buy?

The DLP comes with a PS3, by the way.

LCD.

DLP's are a pain in the ass because of the 'rainbow effect', the need to replace bulbs, and most can't be mounted on a wall. Also, the viewing angles aren't that great.

Don't go with DLP simply because of the PS3. Just seriously consider the differences between the two types of TVs.

I don't really know the differences but I'd favor the DLP because of the PS3

Screw both. Get a Plasma or CRT.

Why would you want a Plasma or even worse -- a CRT over an LCD?

CRT's do have advantages, despite the dated technology. I would still go with the LCD, you have to Remember the P in DLP, Processing. Processing = Picture Lag.

Go with the LCD, the response time is minimal.

Plasma doesn't reflect light as much. And CRTs can actually display black. CRT HDTVs = win.

And that makes up for poopty viewing angles and the overload of electricity those things use?

Get an LCD.
Picture quality is great (even though plasma is better), you get good views from all angles, and less electricity usage than plasmas.

We have an LCD. Great TV.

Yeah, and the cons outweigh them.
