Buying a new 42" tv soon and can not decide between the two

Have you considered a DLP? I've been researching them the past couple
of months and I think it's a better buy than a LCD or Plasma. You
don't have to worry about the motion blur of an LCD or the glare or
burn-in effect of a plasma. The DLP has some pretty amazing picture
quality. You should check it out and consider it.

Yep, but with a Trinitron tube it's as resolute as you want providing
the scanning system is set up for your needs, and no missing pixels.

Default LCD or Plasma?

Due to the way single DLP chip projectors work, some people experience
dizziness or headaches when watching, or notice a flickering in the
picture (the chip alternates between R, G and B for each frame, whereas
3-chip DLP setups chip is dedicated to each colour, as cinema-quality
digital projectors have). DLP-equipped devices are nice, but not *that*
great for everything (they definitely have their flaws).

I'd rather buy a nice 1920x1080 native LCD, I saw the Panasonic 103"
plasma today in the Bullring and it looked pretty bloody nice - but
knowing that your £50,000 (!) investment would be worn out after 5 or 6
years, tops, kind of put a dampener on the occasion.

And, as the girl on the stand said to me, "I'd rather spend my cash
buying a nice HD projector", which I totally agreed with.

are you talking about the rainbow effect? because that's no longer an
issue in the new DLP HDTVs because of the LED illumination.
