With new TV technologies springing up like crazy, it makes sense to sift through the options and single out the best deals. Although a new 50-inch plasma TV costs much less today than it did a few years back, at around $5,000 and up, it still ain’t cheap. But a $3,300 DLP (Digital Light Processing) rear-projection HDTV with a 52-inch screen — now we’re talking! The chip-based “microdisplay” technology used in DLP TVs has the dual advantage of making the sets lightweight and slim. Maybe not as slim as a wall-hanging plasma or LCD, but the 15-inch depth of most DLP rear projectors makes them more manageable than old-school tube-type TVs.
