DLP TV  The introduction of rear projection big screen televisions using Texas Instruments' DLP technology was likely the single biggest contributor to the beginning of the end of availability for the "old school" CRT rear projection TV. Today's 1080p DLP HDTVs produce a big beautiful 1920 x 1080  Full HD picture from a much smaller, lighter form factor than the significantly larger, heavier, deeper conventional CRT projection TV sets of days yonder.

You may also need to leave some room in your big screen TV budget for a matching floor stand, usually SOLD SEPARATELY, unless you've already got an appropriate place to support it, and all your other A/V components. If you are looking for a large 50 - 73 inches diagonal DLP projection television, you are basically talking about one of just two HDTV manufacturers -- Samsung and Mitsubishi. Using in-wall 1080p rear projection displays, you can get even larger sizes!
