    How good is the Sony XBR Grand WEGA Rear Projection 60"

    I'd certainly go read the AVS Forum discussions of these sets, and they are extensive. The new Sony GW XBRs are second generation LCD RPTV and thus avoid issues of burn-in and convergence inherent to CRT RPTVs. The XBRs tend to be more expensive, and may not give quite as pleasing a picture...

    Wega/Tau vs Projection screen TVs

    Personally, I went with direct view for multiple reasons, but mostly because of the limited vertical viewing angle of RPTVs. From what I've been able to find out, the Sony direct views have DVI, while many others do not, and appear to have the best set of viewing modes and less compatability...

    Need Help Choosing New TV
