    Need help choosing between 2 CRT's

    Need help choosing between 2 CRT's

    RP CRT VS. RP LCD Help

    Thanks Neil, I'm definetly aware of the distance and lighting conditions, and as far as the viewing angle, I plan to center my seat directly in front of the tv, and if we have guests over, well there's always the floor if they don't like the other seating angles. :D

    RP CRT VS. RP LCD Help

    Thanks to all, I have decided on the ws-55315 rpcrt. I just can't justify sinking as much money as lcd costs knowing the issues that they have. I can plan around burn-in, I can't plan around blown pixels or bulbs going out prematurely among other problems, seems to me crt is the safe bet for...

    RP CRT VS. RP LCD Help

    wouldn't it be just about impossible to leave anything on for more than 10-15 minutes, wouldn't commercials be considered a break in the static image and thus take away the chance of burn-in, unless of course you watch material with black bars on the top& bottom or sides all day long or leave a...

    RP CRT VS. RP LCD Help

    Isn't burn-in mostly a non-issue if you keep the contrast and brightness around 50% for CRT's, or have I heard wrong.

    I am on the verge on purchasing either one of two televisions and need some help, I have narrowed my choices down to the Mitsubishi ws-55315 crt or the Hitachi 50v500 lcd. I have been reading many threads over on avs about problems with the Hitachi and rp lcd's in general, my question is how...

    Swans or Rockets?

    The story is that the divas used to be sold by av123.com which now sells the rockets, many people who owned the 6.1 divas traded them in for rockets and like them much more. I'm not sure about all the sonic differences as i haven't heard divas, however I own the rocket rsc200 and I love it, I...
