have you seen the sony wega xbr400 36" direct view? talk about spectacular - sidle up to one and i daresay yourview of rear projection will dim (pun). once you see it, it's hard to pass up :-)
Follow Ups:
Yes, I've seen the Sony and it sure looks very good. However, I think the screen size will be a bit too small considering that the distance between my viewing position and the TV will be about 10 ft.
I have the 73" Mitsubishi. It doubles the DVD lines if you don't have Progressive Scan. IMHO the differences are near negligible. However I would audition a Progressive Scan DVD. I own the DL-37 Pioneer Elite (paid $650)and am thoroughy impressed.
i say go for it since size matters :) however we have the direct view set 9 feet away and it is enveloping. the monitor looks better once you get it home, even in day time with regular satellite stuff. in home theater environment with a bias light, it is the best i've seen; if you then switch to component video with dvd source, it's killer.part the fun is in the choosing for sure
An exhaustive discussion of RPTV's is available at www.hometheaterforum.com in the TV & PRojectors forum.
Searching that forum will give you a TON of info & opinions.At 10' from the screen you might be able to do FPTV as well, and for info on that you can also investigate www.avsciience.com forums, CRT, DLP D-ILA forum.
I personally wentthrough this dilemma about a month ago. I looked at many RPTV's, but now I have a projector (Infocus 350) due to arrive next week. One impotant plus for projectors is that they weight 8 lbs. and are as big as a phone book, as opposed to the 300 lb. RPTV onsters.
E-mail me if you have speciifc questions, like I said I recently looked into this topic a lot.

Please let me know how things look with the Infocus projector once you're all dialed in.How much is that model and what brand and gain screen are you using?
See Ya. Dave
