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

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.
