Gordon @ Convergent AV said:Gazz: I guess we have to agree to disagree....On the burn front I can tell you that I know of folk who've done the same thing with their CRT's....If you don't repsect your display device then you get what you ask for.
quite true.. but a lot of people have families!
and that is where most damage occurs!
crt's are a lot harder to burn than plasma panels mainly pecause they are not general driven as hard to try to get a reasonable dynamic range
Also when you say 100% failure rate I presume you mean in a commercial environment?
about an 80/20 split the failure rate in domestic enviroment is a little different..
people are just not prepared to put up with grotty pictures at home!
I don;t have kids....I do play games on my plasma. I am chilled.....man.
and a lucky one at that!
I was not trying to be nasty or flippant it is just most people here have certain assumptions.. they assume that as they are prepared to make a personal crusade towards perfection everyone else is as well!
some people just want to watch tv on a big screen..lets be honest now.. really honest.. the 150 would not be the weakest link would it?
that would be the source! the 150 is perfectly capable of displaying any pal ntsc secam or mpeg transmitted source currently available to us.
and also the majority of dvd's too
I just think those people deserve help too. not derision (this is a pub projector dont waste your time ect) without finding out what they really want!
so let us help those people too!

hi again!
you will have to forgive me.. I am relativly new on these forums
and I didnt see "It's OK for a pub....it's crap as a home theatre device"
as helpfull or constructive!
I hope you enjoy Star Trek on your 150.....I'll be enjoying it on my plasma....
you enjoy your plasma! I dont have the luxury of sending them back when they go faulty.. I have to repair them
just as a side note.. I didn't see any crt projectors amongst your products?

Gary Lightfoot said:From my experience a half decent DLP will be better than you think in most resepects other than absolute black level. I found mine to be very similar in performance to Henrys Barco - both have pros and cons so hard to say which is better overall, it will depend on an individuals preferences to what they want from an image. Most DLPs also have built in scalers like Faroudja so although they may get a better picture from using an external scaler or HTPC they don't necessarily need one. They can also take a progressive input and the image is progressive too.
they also cost more to run than an average car
If the CRT doesn't have contrast modulation it won't do a very good job of white and will have poor colour uniformity. If it's AC than it will have poor intra-scene contrast (ANSI) of probably less than 50:1 (DLP can be 500:1+). DLPs have excellent greyscale tracking and can do white. Cyber may find that his current DLP performs remarkably well in many respects so it will do him well to demo the CRT before he sells his Benq.
