Recommendations for a nice direct view set

I am in need of advice for the purchase of a new direct view tv for my smallish HT. I am looking in the range of 35-36", and have always had a preference for Sony products. What is the real bargain in sets of this size at the moment? I need at least one set of component-ins. I'd like to keep it under $1500. Thanks!

I think I understand what you are getting at; yeah the image is on the inside of the tube. Never thought of that. But I guess I really don't care why, the picture just looks caved in, esp. on SONY Wegas, IMO.

I don't know, but it seems like a leap to assume that because a picture tube is a vacum that it is "sucking" the picture in. I could be wrong.

You cannot go wrong with a Sony XBR. Yes it costs more than $1500. However, although listed at $2495., Tweeter gave me one for $1950. There simply is no better picture...

I echo the sentiments of Dwudman. Especially if you have a Sony XBR ISF-calibrated.
