Cheap and Big - this would be the only reason to look at them. The only place I would suggest using them is the same place you would use a projector - a very dark place.
DLP is the evolution of the rear projection TV. The DLP technology allowed them to reduce the size of the rear projector, it is now table top, but is still much deeper than any flat panel. If you notice over the years the DLP's keep getting bigger and bigger, and less companies make them - in fact it's basically down to Mitsubishi - http://www.mitsubishi-tv.com/
The challenge is that you can buy 60 inch plasmas that look better for about the same price as the 65 inch DLP's - and most people feel it is worth giving up, If you want an 82 inch TV this is still a good answer because the Flat panels over 65 inch get realllllllllllllllllly expensive.
The other challenge is that you don't know when they will stop making them - I have a JVC 61 inch, my bulb is rather expensive about $300. Mitsubishi's bulbs are only $99.00. The question is will that change if they stop production. My suggestion is you buy one - get the longest warranty you can to cover other issues and buy 2 bulbs and store them.
My TV is really active and our bulb lasted about 2.5 years. Compare them to a plasma you can usually look at them side by side - it is usually a big enough difference that most will give up the size for clarity.
