whats the pros and cons between a projection HDTV vs a lcd screen?
nick asked:
I’m looking into purchasing a 50″ HDTV but I can’t make up my mind on which one to purchase. The rear projection tv is a lot cheaper in price but I’m afraid I won’t get the quality picture. Any suggestions will be helpful.

Projection HDTV’s are getting thinner and better in quality images. The older projection HDTV’s use a spinning color wheel and replaceable high tempurature lamp (~$300-$500).
DON’T GET THIS TYPE!!
The new projection HDTV’s are coming out with red/green/blue LED’s that replace the color wheel and eliminate the high tempurature lamp.
Within the next few years, the LED’s will be replaced by LASER’s, giving the entire color spectrum of the rainbow.
Here is what’s new in projection HDTV’s:
