Wha-? Lena... I thought you had the Sony GrandWega?? I thought I accidentally offended you when I said (in my oh so delicate manner) that I didn't much care for it.

Were you just defending Sony or what?

Anyway... if you're (or anyone's) looking into what's out now in rear projection... there's a new Toshiba that's LCoS and 1280x1920, so it'll upconvert 1080i to 1080p. gotta read up more on it, but there's a huge thread on AVSforum's rear projection section.

Not sure on the size of it but it's costly. Probably $8K+ in stores. Hopefully it works and looks great though. Then LCoS will finally take off and prices will plummet in time for my next set!

Hard to beat $3K for a 65" 1080i CRT though. Or ~$2K for a 50".
