HELP BARCO or ELECTROHOME?

I looked into that Barco 800. Spec wise its a real bargain, but my reason for not buying was that it only accepts RGB inputs, not Component inputs which is what all the current HT controllers and highend dvd players will output. You will need to buy and RGB=> Component converter. I don't know if there will be noise and/or resolution problems with that. And, of course, you will need more cables.

it needs to be line doubled any way witch will give you RGB. that is a lot of hours. a crt should go 10-to 12000 hours before retubing. both crts might have burns. i would say unless you can pick either unit up for less than 500 bucks leave them. i would rather have a barco but have never seen an electrohome.
