    year.
    Also BLU was the next gen of storage for digital and computer media, getting it is a no
    brainer (so you shouldn't have any trouble) while 3D is a revamped gimmick that has
    never been ready for prime time, might never be.
    THE TWO ARE like apples and PC'S, completely different deals, so of course you
    think they are similar.
    Funny pix, my CRT outperforms your vizio panel in every area accept ultimate light level. Since a properly calibrated set does not need the ultimate light levels your panel has, one could say it outperforms it in all areas.

    Not everything new outperforms everything old. If you were more technically astute, you would know this.

    Also, I saw your little ghetto system in your thread. It matches that little ghetto man at the end of your posts, so at least you are consistent.

    Well, like your girlfriends its all relative.
    I have more blood sweat and tears in my system than you. It takes more ingenuity
    and planning, and sacrifice to build a system on a budget.
    Mine has a 1,000 receiver, a sub costing same, another two grand or so of speakers,
    and at least a grand in cables. Amy my Vizio will be around 20 years after your horse
    and buggy crap has turned to dust. More modest than yours, but a lot would like to have it.
    WHEN YOU START POSTING PICS, then you can talk.
    I know your system cost more, but its what you do with what you have, not what you
    can afford.
    I HAVE SEEN SYSTEMS better than mine that were cheaper, and some high end systems I WOULDNT HAVE. You can't dis anybodies stuff until you show yours.

    AND THIS post of yours is just as obnoxious as the rest of the drivel you spew out,
    so you're pretty regular too.
    IF a HT setup costing in excess of ten grand is "ghetto" then theres a lot of "ghetto boyz"
    on this site. AS FOR YOUR "system" it starts out of the box behind and stays there.
    If you really knew anything you would know that comparing a modern system to your
    science project is same as comparing apples and oranges.
    I saw the BURT RUTAN spaceship one recently, and the space shuttle blows its doors
    off in every respect, but guess which one is the future, AND WHICH IS THE PAST.
    Same for your antique. You can get a DLP that outperforms it at every level, you can get
    a 60" (five foot) for less than 1500.
    CRT is
    DEAD
    and so is its Bas**** child plasma, BTW.

    Oh Pix.....its not the cost, it just that it is poorly set up and looks like hell. We all know you don't calibrate your set, and if you rely solely on Audessey(at least the Receiver's version of it) to set your sound, then its calibration on that mess may not be all that accurate either. Clean that crap up!

    Sorry Pix, but once again you just don't know what you are talking about.

    I know of no DLP that can natively display all resolutions from 480i to 1440p. None, they all have a fixed resolution. I know of no DLP that has a 150,000-1 contrast ration, None. I know of no DLP that has as accurate color rendition as my set. I know of no DLP set that is as reliable as my set(it has no moving parts, can't say that about a DLP). I do not have to deal with the rainbow effects of a color wheel.

    When you peel pack your stupid rhetoric with facts, you walk away with mud on your face, which might not be a bad thing. At least we don't have to be exposed to a Meg Whitman look alike.

    Your brain has no moving parts and look at how it works.
    No DLP has 150,000 to one contrast, most are higher, LED lcd sets are boasting contrast
    of 3,000,000 to one, don't know about the truth to that.
    As for 1440p, that will really come in handy with a 1440p BLU RAY PLAYER.
    You have a megabuck scaler that will scale to that? Good for you!
    You keep wanting to compare your frankenstien project to real systems that
    real people can not only afford, but can actually use.
    Or maybe its just that having a "system" that a grad student in physics would take awhile to figure out gives you a smug sense of superiority.
    THE REALITY is that you can walk into Walmart and buy gear that will acheive 95%
    of what your "system" can do at a fraction of the price.
    And the day you realize that your "system" is just a bunch of overengineered crap that
    you wasted the family jewels on
    and nothing special is the day you will hit the wall.
    AND IT WON'T BE PRETTY.

    B.S, there is no DLP that has a higher true contrast ration than 150,000:1...NONE.

    You have just proven that lying is not just something you do in a bed.

    Sorry, but there is no video measuring device on this planet that can measure 3,000,000:1, that is pure marketing BS.
