DLPs selling just fine

Plasmas may not be doing so well but DLPs are becoming more popular then ever. A one-year market time frame, ending in the '06 holiday season, DLP sales grew a whopping 63%. Most of these sales are in the 50-inch and larger market; in a range that most flat-screens, being plasma or LCDs, are simply too pricey for many consumers - but not for rear projection sets. A 60-inch plasma will cost you more then $3500 and you only have a few to choose from. Not with rear projection where they can be found for less then two grand and in rear-projections, DLPs are selling just fine.
