CRT based rear projection televisions are ****e; they have small tubes and they produce little light. Ive got a Sony LCD rear projection screen television and the picture is bright with a large viewing angle; its similar to a Samsung DLP (which better every plasma that Ive looked at...), but better than several other manufacturers DLPs that Ive seen recently.

Lee, you've obviously done your research - which model did you go for?

We're in the market for something >= 42" or so - do you think SED sets will be worth waiting for?

 

They do produce better contrast than LCD/DLP kit though; but the low luminosity and ****-poor viewing angles amke them a poor choice.

Ive got an InFocus LCD projector that produces about 2000 ANSI lumens and an RCF CRT beamer (a huge thing with three 7" lamps: red; green and blue), which only manages about 600 lumens; it produces a far superior picture though with brilliant contrast (10,000:1 as opposed to 400:1) and brighter colours...

 

Im actually in the market for one of those Sony KDFE50A12s Lee; so Id be very interested in your opinion of it. Its to replace a KL37W1U.
