A CRT front projector has a wonderful advantage in that it has no shadow mask. Didn't you ever make it to the demos that DTS used to put on at CES? Talk about film-like! The problem is that this technology only works well in a light-controlled room.

If you ever made it to our room at CES about 4 years ago, you would have had a chance to see 480p on a $40,000 Panasonic 30" professional mastering monitor (direct view CRT).

If you think *any* digital display can hold a candle to a CRT, all I can say is that you must have never seen a properly setup CRT. If you like rainbows, screen door effects, and shitty black levels, then digital displays are the way to go.

I must admit that I am curious to see Pioneer's new plasma technology (announced at the recent CES) and also SED (if they ever launch the damned thing). But keep in mind that the best these things will ever be able to do is to *equal* CRT performance (albeit in a slimmer package, possibly with larger screen sizes). It's kind of like audio recording. Some day, they may be able to *match* the performance of a 30 ips half-track 1/2" tape. But it still ain't happened yet...
