For about 1/2 the price (or less) of a comparably-sized (34") plasma or LCD, I thought that the Toshiba and other brands looked pretty good in true HDTV mode. I don't really require thinness, as it is going in a corner. On top of all this, the salesman told me that plasmas tend to go out after a couple of years here in Denver, as my house is +7000' elevation.Truth be told, I liked the LCD the best, but for an extra $1500, the main advantage was only the markedly better picture from WAY off axis.
My main impression from my first day of HDTV shopping was that the projection TVs are about as user friendly as my 2 channel setup where only one person truely has the sweet spot.
