Okay, could anyone quickly list positives/negatives of the multiple screen technologies out there? These are Rear Projection, Front Projection, Plasma, and LCD. I'm not too interested in future technologies as of yet (Oganic LCD and NanoTubes). What I'm getting at is what are the major limitations of each technology compared to it's advantages. I'll give this a start from what I know:

Rear Projection:

Positives:
-fairly inexpensive,

Negatives:
- screen burn in (?)
- bulky

Front Projection:

Positives:
- No screen burn in (?)
- excellent resolution

Negatives:
- expensive

Plasma:

Positives:

Negatives:

LCD

Positives:
-

Negatives:
- Dead pixels
- expensive to repair (?)
-

I guess I do not know much :-)

Thanks,
oharag
