Now I have proof it is not my imagination. Today I did a 4 TV install with three standards and one Hi Def. As it happened, myself and the customer were able to stand at a point where we could see both the Hi Def and one of the standards at the same time. The Hi Def was hooked to a big screen Mitsubishi and the standard to a 27" Sony. I told him about you clowns worshipping the Hi Def and asked for his opinion. He agreed the standard was every bit as good as the Hi Def. But he said it did improve the picture on the Mitsubishi big screen by about 10% over the Dish Notwork he had on it before I arrived.

A standard rear projection television uses CRT's, where usually three or more are projected(red, green, blue). I assume you bought a LCD projection TV that uses a single LCD projector. Thus alowing my statement that the LCD picture is inferior to CRT picture.

I own both, one 65 inch Rear Projection CRT Mitsubishi Hi Def compatible in the family room and a Mitsubishi 52 in LCD Hi Def for my bedroom, we also own an older technology 45 inch big screen Mitsubishi that my son uses for his gaming which still works pretty damn amazing given that it is over 15 years old.

I will never stray from Mitsu in big screen products, Sony is as good but they make you pay a premium charge for their name.

For me, Mits is the best big screen out there.

I wish your dad and my dad were on the same page. His 10 year old 27" Mitsu console went out over the summer and he wanted to spend $400 on a TV. $400 is something like .16% of his gross annual income. So instead of going with something decent, like a 42" plasma, he sunk $1400 into a 32" Sony HD CRT and an ugly as sin cabinet.

The thing I can't understand is that he watches a decent amount of TV, including Rams and Chiefs games.

Jesus H. Christ! Sanyo has a 32" HD CRT for under $600. Sony makes great TVs, but their shit is just way over priced...

I went with the JVC over the sony. I got a 52 in JVC with the same features as a Sony for $250.00 less and it has a superior picture.

$800 Sony, $600 cabinet. He negotiated free sales tax (during the back to school exemption) with the CC employee, so I have to give him props for that at least.

I got a 46 in Toshiba rear projection this summer at BB for 999 bucks. It was a phenomenal deal...the best picture of any projection unit I've seen...it even compares to many DLPs.

Skip, in regards to your comments about STV vs HDTV, use the proper equipment first. You can't jam a bunch of marbles into a Glock and complain about why it doesn't shoot as well as a slingshot for the price. Buy some bullets (an HDTV tuner and HDMI or DVI cables) and then blow people away w/ the picture (pun intended).

I hope you enjoy your n00b feeling on this one, ass.

Not everybody. But there are a ton more people watching HDTV nowadays as compared to when this thread was started 6 years ago. Back then, there were a lot of variables. There are still some, but its not nearly as bad. Many more HD channels are offered now and most are better quality than back then. Still, I find it hilarious that a professional DTV installer seriously didn't understand HD.

Even back then a 720p 60hz LCD tv was heads and tails better than any SDTV. Skip is just ****ing stupid.
