Craig:

Yes, they're huge and heavy, but properly aligned and converged the CRT rear-pro can look very very good. I've found the Sony and Hitachi CRT rear-pro sets in the 46- to 48-inch range to have an edge over other brands. And if you could put up with a smaller screen size then a direct-view CRT from Sony or Hitachi can look wonderful. But I understand the appeal of the big image. I'm about to make the switch to DLP myself. . .
