Gonna take my Samsung CRT TV back tomorrow as the picture quality is pretty poor. Even though the image is sharp and clear, there is far to much streaking for my liking, as well as shadow on the left side of the screen.
At any rate. I am considering getting a Toshiba 40PW13 Rear Projection TV. I have searched here and on the dvdforums, and comments seem quite favourable (though none or few are in recent months). Also Home Cinema Choice gave it a good review...
My only concerns are on image burn, and potential flickering of the image as this TV is only 50Hz.
Can anyone provide any info on this TV?
Also, would I be better of paying £900 on this TV or getting a CRT TV for a similar price? To be honest I have become somewhat apathetic with CRT TV's lately, as it seems nearly all of them have some fault or other...(though I must admit I am being very picky).

Just been to our local dealer, looked at a number of Toshiba RPTV's, and they did look quite good. However, I did notice a hell of a lot of grain in the image. This was less noticable from a dictance, but in our living room I will be 6 foot from the TV so it will be very noticable.
Some of them had a digital TV image coming into them, and again very grainy, the ones with DVD running were less grainy, but it was still too noticable as well as a fair amount of flicker.
From what I could see, the TV's I looked at were chained together on their scart connection in batches of three. (I also don't think it was on RGB connection). They were reluctant to hook up a DVD player directly as they were about to close. But is such a grainy picture common on RPTV's, it really put me off the whole idea...
