  Hi,
  There are a lot of very good products to choose from in HDTV Ready (Require an external set top box to decode the HDTV signal) sets.

  If you can audition the products from:

  Toshiba (Cinema Series 4:3 sets: TN55X81, TN61X81)
  (Widescreen: TW40x81, TW56x81, TW65x81)

  Pioneer: New 510 model is a 51 " ?
  Panasonic: 56 " widescreen, they also have 4:3 HDTV ready series sets
  Hitachi (SDX models
  Sony (XBR300)

  From what I've read onthe net, the Toshiba's seem to offer a very good quality product for the price.

  I'm very happy with my Toshiba TP61H95 (Last years 61" model), but have yet to see high def on it.

  The main feature you should be looking for is a good quality line doubler circuit.

  Hope this helps.

  see www.digitaltheater.com (Video Section)
  and www.hometheaterforum.com where various RPTV's are extensively discussed.

    Thanks Eddy!

    I have continued my search and have narrowed the choices down to the Mitsubishi Diamond Series (WS-55905 or WS65905)and the Pioneer Elite (Pro610HD or Pro 510HD). Any thoughts! I will check the sites you recommended for more feedback.

  No advice to give on brands, BUT make sure that whoever you buy from can set it all up properly and give good after sales service. Some projectors can be challenging to get the most from.

  There is a discussion and comparison of test results of a few rear projectors in the Nov. 99 Home Theater magazine. I am not sure of the final conclusions, except that you should see the sets for yourself at a dealer that has a competent service department that sets up the tv's it sells. I found a site that gives the addresses of service departments that are trained in proper setup and those that have purchased the equipment for calibrating. Try: http://www.imagingscience.com/.
