I am still using mty 40" toshiba rear projection, I remember when I
brought it to switzerland in 2000 people here couldn't believe their
eyes, seeing such a large TV screen, now of course everyone has such a
large or larger screen at home. Apart from removing the front screen a
couple of times to remove the cobwebs, the first time I did it was
because the spider kept walking around when I was trying to watch TV so
I decided to have a go cleaning it, it was very dusty after 10+ years
but the clean of lenses and mirror bought the colours back to life.
I purposely skipped the HD TV years and as soon as I can justify/afford
it I will be buying a UHDTV probably the samsung F9080, I had read
internet reports about it being no better than HDTV at normal vewing
etc, but to my eyes that is rubbish, I can see its sharper and more 3D
like (without glasses) a bit like the micro contrast of a really sharp
lens, which will also last 20 years like the rear projection. I am
concerned about the robustness of an lcd TV especially with Cai around
but hopefully we can protect it enough.
BTW I have been posting some photos on Facebook but not here, this is
not a list snub, I just don't have much time at the moment, haven't even
been able to play properly with the new camper.
