RPTV's tend the give the best picture, for HD. For SD or even some lower HD pictures, Plasma's do a formidable job. Plasma's are nice cause they are flat and hang on the wall. LCD's are ok. They are bright, but picture quality generally is not as strong as the other two.

Plasma's do not need to be recharged. They are good for about 60,000 hours I believe. DLP's need to have their bulbs replaced far more often to the tune of $300 or so a bulb. Basically...there is no "Best". I'm in the market right now. Trying to decide between the Samsung plasma or the Sony SXRD RPTV. Looking at 50" for the plasma or 50-55" for the RPTV. They are all quite reasonable now. Both can be had for around $3,000.
