LCD or DLP

Look into LCoS ...its a cross between LCD and DLP.
If you get a DLP, make sure it has a 3 chip architecture instead of just 1.

Take a look at D-ILA also.

What consumer sets have a three-chip architecture?

JVC's D-ILA is their flavor of LCoS. LCoS is not a cross between DLP and
LCD. It has no relation whatsoever to DLP. LCoS is LCD based, using
three LCDs on silicon chips, one for red, green, and blue. Because of
this it is still prone to convergence issues, noticeable to my eye
looking at JVC D-ILA on the showroom floor. Also, D-ILA has motion
blurring with sports. The color management is also strange; I was unable
to adjust the display to reproduce natural looking greens when watching
a soccer match. The colors were very Willy Wonka-esque, and toning them
down made the image lifeless. My $.02, ymmv.

3-chip vs 1-chip

3-chip:
No colour wheel (therefore no rainbow effect, and no moving parts, and
no noice from colour wheel rotation/motor though of couse it still has
cooling fans...)
Convergence is an issue (those three chips need to be aligned)
Price is significantly more... 3 chips cost more than one



1-chip
substantial price advantage
no convergence issues (1 chip nothing to align)
prone to rainbow effect

moving parts are prone to failure, although few reports of dlp problems
centre around colour wheel motors failing so this may be a red herring
issue.

I'd go with a single chip if the rainbows aren't visible to you, this is
a technology game, just like PCs, and like PCs, you can spend top dollar
on the latest highest performance model, but its still obsolete
tomorrow. And 3+ years out even a more modest set will be better than
the best today for prices that are lower than what you pay today for
today's modest set.

Unless money is really not an issue at all, spending top dollar for the
best hdtv today is just a waste. Two years out your tv will be obsolete
no matter what you buy... and that 14,000 TV you bought today will look
inferior to a 4k model a couple years out.

I do think 3-chip will be the future as prices drop, but I wouldn't
stress about it being in the TV one buys today. If you do see rainbows,
though, 3-chip will elminate that for you.

I would like to know this too. 3 chip DLP sounds great but I don't
think it is available yet.

According to dlp.com, 3-chip sets are commercial only.
