Used Vidikron 2C...Should I or shouldn't I?

I've been looking at various projectors as well. Is it the Vision 2, 8" CRT projector? That seems like a very low price if it is. BTW: those older CRT's only have RGB inputs for HD signals (component inputs being an option) so you would need a scaler or other interface. Also, it might be that Vidikron is out of business or has been sold. Something like that happened last year and their website seems inoperative. You might also want to check into that in case you need parts or think you might want to resell it.

CRT is still considered king for the best possible color and ability to produce all HD resolutions. The DLP projectors are much small, usually quieter and easier to place. I think LCD is going by the wayside in favor of DLP. good luck

It's actually the Vidikron CrystalView 2C...And thanks for your feedback.

I have the Yamaha lcd projector. Looks much better than any Runco or any other dlp I have seen for less than 10k.. Thats why I bought the Yamaha lcd. This lcd has better color rendition than any dlp I have seen.. The black level is better on the 12k Runco dlp. There will be no image burn in issues period... It is quiet and small. The Super Bowl in high definition on the Yamaha LCD looked like [if there were such a thing] a 84in.plasma..Incredible... It does true hd and the 3 lcd panels are 16/9...The Vidikron can still be serviced. The black levels on that projector will be no better than lcd. How many hours are on the guns..Most projectors have a service menu that tells you the running total. 3k to 5k hours is about the effective 1/2 life on crt's. You are looking at least a $2500 retube charge.. Lcd and dlp when you replace the lamp you basically have a new projector. Tom
