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:)
