Thanked: 346I've had a Samsung DLP rear projector for a couple of years and love it. Mine only goes up to 1080i, but newer ones do 1080p. There aren't a whole lot of 1080p signal sources at the moment, but this will likely change over the next decade so 1080p is good to have anyway. DLP rear projection units are both very bright, fairly inexpensive, and surprisingly light (my 53" is about 60lbs) so they're easy to move around when you're fiddling with cables. And the samsung units tend to have good scalers so even standard definition signals look good.
Here's a 61" at best buy for $2500 (add to cart to see the sale price)

There's a couple of 62-inch DLP HDTV's at onecall.com which are in the 2200-2300 range. One's a Toshiba, the other a Panasonic. I looked for them using www.pricewatch.com. Couldn't tell you anything about their comparative picture quality, though.

I like Mitsubishi for Projection, I have a 55" and i just love it. I was in Panasonic's lab last year looking at some cool stuff they were starting to work on, and DLP looked very cool, it is definitely the way to go, but if you cant afford it projection is just fine. Don't go with Plasma, I saw first hand at panasonic how awful the screen burn gets within an hour. I personally wouldnt go with LCD either, when you go slim you sacrifice picture quality unless you are using an actual projector.

Thanked: 346DLP is also projection, it's just a different method of doing the projection. Mine is about 10" deep, not as thin as plasma or a pure LCD screen, but not too thick either.
