If you are leaning to CRT projo's - buy the Hitachi 51F510. hands down, one of the best projo's out there. With their 1080p chip, auto-convergence system (best in the market), anti-glare/screen protector and far superior guns than Toshiba, Hitachi stands out. Hitachi also manufactures 63% of the markets guns - meaning companies like Toshiba, RCA, Samsung, all buy Hitachi guns. Now, Hitachi isn't stupid - they keep the better guns for themselves. Personally, I wouldn't buy a TV that makes cars, nor would I buy a car if it were made by an electronics company - even if it looked nice, cause its the guts that count!

I have sold six of the JVC HD-ILA's and from those six, four (4) have been defective - not a good track record. Unfortunatly, they do look good. But see the above line - its the guts thats important. I personally, have not had any return on a Hitachi (CRT or LCD) due to defect. They simply are better.

If you buy a DLP, buy a Samsung. By far, the best on the market. Their 4th gen chip kills all the others out there. Until someone can make a better DLP chip than Texas Instruments, Samsung is THE way to go. There is the HLP5685 and the HLP5674W that utilize that chip. The '63' series still looks fantastic, but the 3rd gen chip isn't as good.

I can't see the rainbow or the flicker that others claim to see - and if you can't either, than go for it and pick one up.
