:angry: I'll be there in a couple of weeks(Disney World) and it makes me so mad this attraction was changed. It was one of my favorites growing up. Tiki Birds in the Tiki Room.... For a new wave I'd like to see some opening day/History stuff for the Magic Kingdom and Epcot, since...
I don't think you can get burn in on an LCD rear projection TV, due to the fact that it is a fixed pixel display. It should be more along the lines of a DLP, in that regard. Something to worry about though is getting dead or stuck pixels. This really isn't too bad unless you have multiple ones...
Agreed, that is annoying. My parent have a 4:3 Sony XBR direct view set and Comcast will broadcast like this fairly often. When a true HDTV signal comes in though, everything is normal. This should end up becoming more commonplace as more and more programming is going HD. There are still some...
I'm basically in the same boat as you, trying to figure out what my next TV will be. I've considered direct view CRTs (mainly the 34" XBR910 (superfine pitch) or the 40" XBR), rear projection TVs (Pioneer Elite, Mitsubishi Platinum and Diamond line), DLP (43" and 46" Samsung), LCD Rear...
It also has a very cool segment called Baby Weens that is animated, somewhat:wink: This is actually one of my favorite sets just because I generally love behind the scenes stuff. Check it out if you get a chance.
Just a heads up, this release is seeing much fewer numbers (105,000) compared to the rest of wave 3. It will have less than half of the numbers compared to On the Front Line. I think this will be a sleeper that ends up being rather hard to find soon. If you are interested in it, I'd hurry and...
I don't see the CRT, especially a direct view set, going away anytime soon. I think the first ones that will start disappearing are RPTVs due to sheer size of them. Of course, as nice as the DLPs, LCD-RPs, etc look, a nice Pioneer Elite or Mitsu Diamond Line properly set up will look better...
