*CRT guy wonders* Prices dropping and quality rising, why not get a RP or LCD over a CRT? *TVs, not PC monitors*

You might want to check out some of the new LCoS sets coming out. They're supposed to be a lot better than LCD RPTVs and not have the fatigue present in DLP TVs.

What's the DLP fatigue problem? I hadn't heard of this before.

Many people complain about eye fatigue with extended watching on lower end single-chip DLP sets because of the color wheel. It makes a very fast strobe-like effect which some people never notice but REALLY bothers others. Also, some single-chip DLP sets have a "Rainbow" effect around the edges of some images. The high end DLP sets are 3-chip, eliminating rainbow and fatigue, but are VERY VERY expensive at the moment. When those come into the consumer price range, they will be the ones to get.

Thanks for the tip. LCoS, huh? New technology?

Yep. Liquid Crystal on Silicon.
Here's a link to some good information:

Thanks, Amnesiac. That article is great. One of the better ones I've read. The opening paragraph describes me to a "T."

Repeat link to article. (a must-read IMO)
