the relatively cheap prices that rear projection crt sets are going for? I've seen a 52 inch Mitsu going for about $1500 and 60 inch for $1999. Picture quality was also very good.
I guess if you can look past their huge size they seem to be a bargain till LCD/DLP and Plasma technology matures and settles down.
Im tempted...BTW, I spoke with the sales regarding burn-in. He assured me that if I used the black side bars to view 4:3, I would have to leave the set on for days for burn-in to occur. True? If not, how long?
Follow Ups:
Especially if you want to watch DVDs. It's absolutely key to get them tuned up right with a disc like AVIA or Video Essentials, or better yet - get it professionally calibrated by an ISF tech. It really makes a difference in PQ.As for burn-in, just stretch the image once in a while when viewing 4:3 or vary your source material, and don't let the kids keep the set tuned to anything with a fixed logo non-stop for days on end.
I personally prefer fixed pixel displays (plasma, DLP, LCoS) but the good old CRTs are a bargain.
At the very moment they still have the best picture quality with better blacks and few motion artifacts. The problem for many is that they are so damn BIG. But if WAF is not an issue they are a real
bargain.
That when you place one between your high-end speakers, you aren't going to like what you hear.That said, as the owner of a 64"er, I agree, it's the cheapest way to get a big screen.
about placing a big RP monitor between speakers. I use Magnepan 1.6's all around and find no problem with soundstage, imaging, pans, etc. I recently eliminated the center speaker as well and use a phantom.
I noticed some sound stage reduction when I put the Pioneer 730HD between my two Thiel speakers. The Thiels are touchy about room bountries anyway, and the Pioneer, with its reflective black piano gloss finish and square box chassis, was like adding two more walls next to the speakers.I am wondering if stand mounted monitors would be best for my situation (Less side reflections?)
try a front projector and a pull down ceiling mounted screen. For $1500 you can get a 100" diagonal image .
That would be best, but you need a totally dark room, plus another display (plasma would be great) for everyday/daylight TV viewing. Then you could have three identical speakers across the front.CRTs usually are just bright enough so that they will work anywhere.
I would think a $1500 front projection system would need a line-doubler (another $1000) to match a decent CRT RPTV?
you're right. But for my purpose - only used for DVD viewing it works great. This is in my basement rec-room/HT.for everyday tv I have a 42"incher
