I just can't see buying an RPTV right now, unless you have a hi-def source. Even the very best of them look crappy on regular cable. I spent the last three or four weeks looking at everything I could find, and the projection sets still look as crappy as they ever did: pixeleted, slow to respond when motion (like sports) is happening, difficult viewing angles. I just watched the brand new RCA 43" (I think) RPTV with HD receiver built in, and the hockey players looked like bad JPGs downloaded from the web.

Even the $900 sets sitting beside the RPTVs look excellent by comparison.

On the other hand, the new RCA 38" widescreen tube 38000 has the most incredibly sharp and detailed picture I've ever seen. Worth every penny of the $5000 Cdn. ... Mike
