Seems like I just sold my Beta VCR and now I am try to unload two laser players. So I venture forth and purchase a Pioneer DVD 09 and now hear it is being replaced...progressive scan. I purchased a high end cd player and two weeks later they say it is being upgraded. Now I want to purchase a bigger screen TV 50'+ but my wife still feels a 36" tube outperforms any front or rear projection tv. Okay how about a nice Sony Wega 36 XBR for her and for me a projection unit. Perhaps I can accomodate both...a roll down screen. in front of the Sony. Question is what type of projection tv gives the best picture ...front or rear. Why? What can I expect to get for about $6000? I appreciate any comments.
but it will cost you, and you need to watch in near total darkness if it is a CRT projector. You can do reasonably well for $6000 (CRT) but $10-12K will buy you more.
AT this price range the store should have an ISF certified tech to make all the adjustments to the projection TV. Otherwise they are pretty poor. Direct view seems to work better with broadcast TV, because the smaller size does not show the flaws as much. Projection is more unforgiving of signal quality. Besides you still have to sit in certain places, which may or may not be a problem for you.My inclination is to buy a 32 or 36" tv & wait a few years for the dust to settle regarding HDTV & digital TV before buying a projection or plasma TV.
