***And to answer your other post, I watch movies on a Sony 36" XBR-WEGA direct view set at a distance of 6-7 feet (the home theater is crammed into an 11 x 12 ft bedroom.With bulky WEGA dominating the room, where do you keep all those 1600 LD's plus tapes and DVD's?
***But frankly, I think its picture quality is overrated and next time I think I'll go for a small 16:9 rear projector like the Toshiba TW40F80.
That is a nice set, although it is getting a bit old. It can't take 480p, I believe, and lacks some image processing modes. I would also consider the new Samsung 40" rear projector - very compact for moderate room situations. I am trying to get one.
But really, with all your old movies, why bother with the 16:9? I find that about 98% of what I watch is in 3:4. And I hate to throw away the pixels that are in limited supply. The Toshiba has gray side bars in such case that I don't care for. The Samsung has a panoramic mode that is supposed to work well on most 3:4 material - much better that the simple stretch mode.
***DVDs actually look better on my cheap 17" computer monitor than on the WEGA.
Yes, I can easily believe that. But it should not match its brightness.
