Buying a high definition television is no small investment. It's not just the price you're worried about. You also want the best possible set on your budget.
There's really no such thing as 'the best type of HDTV'. It all depends on what you're looking for and the kind of money you want to spend.
Generally, plasma HDTVs are known for their picture quality. If you want the best picture quality for the cheapest price, go for plasma. If however screen size is more important to you, you can get HUGE DLP sets for a fraction of the price of a plasma or LCD of the same price.
And what's LCD good for? Well although an LCD of plasma-like quality and big size is generally more expensive than the others, LCDs are much thinner and lighter, and the pricier ones are of a standard that plasma and DLP just don't compare to.
DLP
DLP is great if you're looking for a bargain on a huge screen. You can get a 73 inch 1080p HDTV for just $2500. Remember though, if you're looking to go over 50 inches, make sure you look for DLP rear-projection. The blacks on these are pretty impressive, so you don't have to suffer with rubbish contrast. It's also worth looking out for the LED-backlit models, which are instant-on, have great colour quality and last much longer than the old light bulb based models.
What are the disadvantages? Well although DLPs are pretty light, they're usually quite chunky and don't work very well with wall mounts. The biggest problem however is the viewing angle. If you'll be watching TV in a small room from all angles, it's best to avoid DLP, as it isn't able to keep its picture quality from extreme angles.
Plasma
Apart from the most ridiculously expensive LCDs, plasma beats all in blur-free motion, contrast and blacks. If you've read about these in the past you might be worried about short life-spans and burn-in. These are no longer issues with the newer sets, which have much longer half-lives and anti burn-in technology.
Disadvantages: Plasma uses double the power of LCDs, so if your electricity bill's already keeping you up at night, you may want to think twice about going plasma. Plasma is also generally more expensive than an LCD of the same size (don't forget you get great picture quality as a result). They're a touch heavier than LCD but not enough to break your wall mount.
LCD
LCD is your default choice for a HDTV if you're looking to go 42" or less. The smaller screens are cheaper than plasma and they tend to be thinner and lighter than the others. You can dial down the back light on an LCD, so they can easily be greened - great for watching a late night movie. Although the picture quality generally isn't as good as plasma, the new much more expensive LED-backlit models come very close.
