Re: Need new TV - burn in question +

I think we are changing our minds about this purchase. The tubes, especially the widescreens are just too small, heavy and expensive when compared to what we can get in a projection model. It's clear to us that with the projection models we can get a larger widescreen with HDTV for hundreds less then a tube set with stand. The tube setups on stands with wheels seem downright unsafe because of the weight of the TV - and we've been checking out $500 TV stands. The Mitsubishi projection models we've are currently looking at come with wheels built into the base so they move easily, the widescreen is more appropriately sized for long term satisfaction, picture quality and color seem good enough and like you said it costs less.

While doing the cost analysis of the purchase the additional HDTV components seem like an expense with the tubed system, with the projection models it's a bonus - ie. I can get a good projection model with HDTV components for the same price as a smaller tubed model with stand without HDTV components.
