Pro's

Large screen for a cheaper price than the same size Plasma or Lcd

Con's

Restricted viewing angles, deeper cabinets and a lot more prone to screen burn than plasma's (lcd's don't suffer with screen burn) which is not an issue if you only use it for movies and tv but if you do a lot of gaming then you would need to be careful of screen burn

Off the top of my head:-

Pro's
====

Price
Slim compared to CRT
Large Screen sizes
DLP Picture quality can be excellent.
HDTV capable (depending on model)

Con's
====

They are larger than a Plasma or LCD (e.g. they aren't flat and you can't mount them on the wall)
Viewing angle


Couldn't really think of too many Con's, you pay your money you take your choice.

I dont know what crazy angles you lot view your tv's from but i have certainly never found viewing angles to be a problem on any of the RP sets ive had :confused: Yes they are more limited than a DV CRT or a DV digital, but all the same as long as you put the set at the right height (its the vertical viewing angle which is more of an issue) then there will be almost no issue at all.

The issue is just the size, the image quality from a digital RP is going to be directly comparible to a DV of the same spec, i wouldnt worry about anything else.

A major con in my eyes is young kids.

If you have young kids then don't buy a RPTV or arrange some sort of warranty deal as it's more than likely the little tykes will crack, scratch, smash the screen
