DLP TV, Front or rear projection? Is there a better type?
I’m looking to buy a DLP tv. I’ve narrowed it down to two models from My local electronics store. First is a 60 inch mitsubishi, second is a 50 inch Samsung. The 60 inch is a rear projection, while the 50 inch is a front projection. Other than size and price, That’s the big difference. And I’m not sure what way to go. Naturally, I’m thinking the 60 inch only because of the size, but the 50 inch would fit in the room better, since it has to go up a staircase with a sharp turn. Then, of course the 50 inch is about $300.00 cheaper. So is there a better version of the DLP style TV? Front, or Rear Projection?
P.S. I do specifically want a DLP TV, Not an LCD or Plasma. (personal preference)

NO LAMP REPLACEMENT…NO COLOR WHEEL…that is what always needed service on DLP TV sets !
And they’re GONE on this DLP !
I’ve only had TWO of these that had noisy power supplys and they were replaced IN WARRANTY ! (I guess some get noisy after being trucked from the factory )
Here is some model info….

I’d go for the 50 incher, due to the staircase you have….but it’ll be SO LIGHT for two to carry up the stairs !!
It’s light enough for one to carry, but you need arms about 45 inches long to do that…
