Help... upgrading to front projector


Hello;

I am upgrading from a Sony 65" HDTV to a front end projector. With all the different brands/models and types (CRT, DLP & LCD) on the market I do not know which projectors to focus my research on and than evaluate for comparison. I would like to narrow my choices down to about six or so (3 CRT's & 3 DLP/LCD).

Any input on which models I should evaluate would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your advise and help.

Happy Holidays & A Safe New Year:)

I am planning to do the same thing in the near future, so I will follow this post with some interest. One thing that might help other posters is your anticipated budget.

The perfect vision has a projector comparison and top picks in the jan/feb issue. just got it last night. Price has a lot do with your choices...CRT best, DLP next, LCD at the end. However the Sony LCD'are really good. Don't dismiss them just on the tech. I have one...love it.

Do you have complete light control in your room? If not, then skip the CRT's because they do not have the light output to overcome an ambient light situation. If you don't have complete light control then go for a higher output fixed pixel display. Look at the Sony VPL-VW12HT (LCD), the Sharp 9000 or 10000 (DLP), the Sanyo 70 (LCD). There is more information and discssion on this stuff than you can conceive of at www.avsforum.com.
