I got a 52" Mitsubishi DLP about a year ago.  I haven't had a problem with it yet. I bought it a year ago from best buy for about 2500.  I'm pretty sure the prices have dropped since then

Did you get a warranty / protection plan?  I don't usually do those as a general rule, but you always hear about the screens / pixels burning out.  Also, did you buy a special type of power strip for it?

Make sure you do that. I bought a 20" Magnavox LCD 3 months ago and some pixels burned. Thankfully I bought a protection plan for it. It's around $50-100, but it's worth it just to have that added safety.

Where did you buy your tv from?

Best Buy

Entertainment is what is shown on the TV not the fucking TV.

whatever you buy, if you get an LCD panel, get an extended manufacturers warranty on it... if it breaks, they wont fix it, they will tell you to buy a new one. $$$.

you never thought about a plasma screen?

they last 10 - 15 years without burning out or losing pixels

I went to Best Buy today.  I saw some pretty dope tv's.  The one that really caught my eye was a 42" Samsung DLP for $1350.  There was a 50" Samsung DLP but it was $1900, so I'm def leaning towards the 42".  The warranty was $400.  There was also some dope Sony and Phillips, so I'm gonna try and read up on those.
