In Reply to: Projection vs. rear. and brands and other general questions. posted by Brian on December 13, 2001 at 19:39:06:
Dear Brian,A couple of years ago i became dissatisfied with a standard TV and as i was going to DVD i wanted a decent sized picture.
I looked at rear projection TV and front projection TV with CRT ,LCD, DPL, and sought advice from a variety of sources.
LCD and DPL are small and light and convenient but the picture just doesnt cut it.
Rear projection TV's make an enormous difference to the size of your room relative to picture size, also i have not seen a great set up on one and they have to be viewed from close to midline of screen to see an undistorted picture. They are also heavy to move around.
So I went down the route of a 2nd hand Barco 600 data grade 6" tubed CRT. I use a 6 ft screen and i was extremely happy with this. I lie i am still very happy with the picture . But a friend bought a 2nd hand Barco 808 data grade which is absolutely amazing,8" tubes. If i had the money this is what i would buy.
I believe that in the good ole us of a that Barco are sold under the Runco brand name.Before you buy anything look at a good front projection CRT .
They are glorious.
How big do you want your screen? Another friend has a Barco 801s and has a 13ft screen. It is like being in a small cinema and the picture is great.
that is my 3 cents worth.
