Wow. Interseting. I DO agree that CRTs (direct view) have better
picture than DLP/LCD/LCos/SCRD/etc and was a major reason i didn't buy
my DLP. BUT the size, weight of CRTs are formidable. The tradeoff is
not so bad, but it is interesting to note that the artifacting i see on
(say) NFL Crowd scenes are a result of the DLPs... I'll have to check
out a CRT HDTV sometime soon.
