If it is size you want go with the new 40" XBR. This has an incredible picture, but make sure you have a couple buddies help you move it in, it wieghts about 300lbs. Good luck, with your choice, make sure you go to an A/V store and preview them all.
Direct View or Rear Projection TV
Hello:
I am interested in getting a TV for my new home. I am looking to spent less than $2K. I like the Sony 43" HD Monitor rear projection TV but I read that rear projection TVs in general have problems like tube burns and images been burnt on the screen. Reading about these problem makes me a little nervious about buying a rear projection TV. What is your opinion about them? Those of you who have owned rear projection TVs, do you see any of these problems? Or should I just get a 36" Wega? Thanks for you input.
