I have been very satisfied with my 36" Toshiba CRT set for the past 8 years, however I have been looking at 54 - 60 inch sets. The lcd sets are beautiful but out of my price range when you get that big. There seem to be a lot of new technologies in projection sets. I thought I would seek the advice of those here who maintain them.
If you were looking for a set of this size in the $1500 - $ 2500 range, what would you buy? Also what would you avoid? I have read postings here in regards to coolant leaks and such, is this still an issue? On certain sets (DLP technology I believe) the light source is good for only 1000 - 2000 hours. Is this user replaceable or are adjustments required at the time of installation? I have not paid much attention to developments in the past 8 years, it is amazing the number of choices, and also confusing.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
