When you think of comparing these two technologies you should really compare the main aspect: picture quality.

The contrast by definition is the measurement of black depending of the white amount. The plasma TV technology is a step ahead this time. The boast of this in the plasma technology is truly remarkable and it's possible to hear about contrast ratios like 4000 to 1. But not all the manufactures can accomplish this level of quality and the main ration is only 1000 to 1.The dlp is a relative new technology on the market so it's not really fair to compare with plasma but some of the big manufacturers come close to the standard ration 1000:1.

The clarity is measured by the amount of lines and looking at the clean edge around the picture. So again dlp television VS plasma is very difficult to compare because both technologies have great reviews regarding the clarity. The plasma achieves this by conversion and processing and the dlp have made this possible using the best clean mirror technology.

The brightness makes the dlp set to take a step ahead the competition. The viewing angle in dlp is very big. The final product has really no component that can burn, perhaps only the easily replaceable lamp. The advantage plasma may have at this chapter is the fact that the brightness doesn't affect the color richness as it this case with most of the dlp.

Both technologies are incredible and the difference between the two is equal in the final product. Both have a little advantage in some areas and some disadvantages. In the end it's up to you and of course the price will affect your decision a lot.
