My toshiba is decent.

Are you sure you want rear projection tho?

Quality is good and price is right for big screen. But much better quality picture available in other formats...

I second the Toshiba.. I got the 50" HD one that is about 2 years old now and it is everything it is suposed to be.

what other formats would you recommend?
the only requirement i have is that it is at least 47".
and of course cost is a factor. i can't afford a plasma.

and thanks for all the links. i'll look in to them.

The best Rear Projector according to the videophiles we cant get here in Canada ( Mitsubishi ) ... I currently own a Sony and would not buy another ... I have heard that Toshiba is excellent ... my next large screen will be a Front Projector CRT style ... there is a guy in Van that is a tech and reconditions them to almost new condition ( units that would be $25K new you can get from him in the 1500 - 3500 US range depending on size of CRT ) ... he sells them on Ebay and privately as well. When I develop the basement in the new house I will be making a road trip to Van for sure.

Cheers

A friend of mine bought a Samsung DLP TV and really likes it.

Don't overlook the panasonics - have had one for just over a year and find it very good. My buddy has had his panasonic for a few years and the picture is still as good as new. The sony has better sound but with home theatres being so inexpensive its all about the picture quality now.

they had 57" wide screens on sale for 3500 at the future shop.
