Michael,
The point of that part of my post was not to say that CRT are better than Plasma. It was more to keep future buyers from being sucked in to the mentality that you have to spend $10k+ on a plasma to get a beautiful picture. I have seen CRT's that blow plasma out of the water. It all depends on their quality and how good they are calibrated. You are right that DLP sets have issues. That is why I chose to wait. I really want one for the simple fact that burn-in is not even a risk with them. Also the size and viewing angles. But the technology is too new. Maybe in 5-6 years it will advance and become cheaper just like CRT based RPTV's did and ended up today.
