I almost opted for a Mits 65813 CRT, but decided to go with a DLP-based Front Projector in the end. Quite a bit more expensive (especially given the screen expense), but lot more visual impact as well. I decided to keep my ancient CRT-based RPTV with serious convergence issues for non-serious TV viewing (e.g. CNN).

If I were going Rear projection, I would have bought the 65813 though I have not seen the latest Pioneer elites. CRTs probably still provide the best picture, but digital is starting to catch up. Plasmas are still too expensive IMHO; the handful of LCD displays I've seen had unacceptable motion artifacts (though i've heard this could represent poor calibration by the showrooms), Some folks are susceptible to DLP "rainbows" but I've had no issues with DLP. The best RPTV I've seen is that Mits LCOS-based 82" but this out of the price range of most...

That's all I remember from last October's RPTV search.
