"The Best Investment"
Pros: Ample Connections, Lastest DLP chip, Vivid Color, HDTV Tuner Integrated
Cons: Netcommand is a little harder to set up, but that's why they made manuals.
Summary: Reports posted about this TV make it one of the top 3 TV's out on the market to get. It has the lastest DLP chip technology. It uses the H2+ chip. 720P and 1080I pictures are amazing. The clarity of the picture is better then what I imagined. The connections on this TV are more then I could ever want. I haven't seen a TV with this many connections yet, and I have researched a bunch of them. I would recommend LCD projection or Plasma. They both have a burn in effect while the DLP's don't. Also the plasma's only have a shelf life of 8-10 years. During that time the plasma get's less bright, and the picture becomes dull. DLP's dont' have that issue. All you have to worry about is replacing a bulb after 80,000 hours of use, and once you replace the bulb, the TV image will look perfect, just like when you first bought it. The bulbs are a bit expensive, roughly $200, or so. Price will drop eventually. I hooked up a computer to this monitor. Looks awesome. Although you need to adjust the resolution. This TV can handle at the highest 1200 X 666. If your card doesn't have that setting you need to download a program called "PowerStrip", do a google search and you'll find it there. I have a HDTV DVR Cable box hooked up to this using a DVI-D to a HDMI, the picture is super clear on HDTV programs and recorded HDTV programs off the 120gb hard drive. It's an awesome set and I give it a perfect 10.Updated
This is the same person who wrote the information above. I didn't realize that some information was wrong. The Bulbs on these TV's will last 6,000 - 8,000 hours, which typically results in 3-4 years of use. If you are one those people who turn on and off the TV alot, try not to, thus resulting in a shorter life of your bulb. Also the Chipset I said was wrong, It's called the HD2+ not H2+. But still, it's worth the money, and the prices keep coming down.

UPDATE
I am also the one who wrote this original post. I would highly recommend going to Samsung now. DLP chips are still great and if you can find an older Samsung model, they are much more dependable. Mitsubishi are a bit more expensive and Samsung is leading the way in HDTVs. The new LED LCD's are great from samsung and their LCD's are also great. Samsung discontinued DLP from their lineup in 2009, but some vendors still sell them. I have a 6 Series at home now and it replaced the 52" Mits TV that died on me. Basically it turned into a $3,000 paperweight. Try to find a TV with 120HZ engine and X.V. Color/Deep Color. 120HZ is great for blu-ray and will give you the 24 Frames Per Second that are exactly how they are filmed in Hollywood. The X.V. Color and Deep Color are great if you plan on use your HD Camcorder on your TV.
