One thing that bothers me (to a varying degree, depending upon the particular device I am watching) is the geometric distortion on CRT based devices.

I have a 36" Sony xbr tv that I bought a couple of years ageo. It was their best 36" model at the time but I had to spend hours in the service adjustment menu to adjust things to get the least possible distortion. The results are not perfect but the small wiggles in straight lines, especially at the edge of the picture, are generally overlookable. As it was out of the box, the distortion was fairly bad, as is the case on MANY large CRT TVs on display floors.

In regards to CRT based projectors, beings the CRTs are smaller (and more likely to be held to tighter manufacturing tolerances), geometric distortions, I would expect, are going to be less severe.

Fixed pixel displays do not have these geometric distortion issues, but have other issues.
