I may have to replace a nec crt projector. My throw distance is only 9-9.5 ft.My screen width is approx. 76". I don't want to spend alot.I don't know whether to think about a replacement CRT, such as the seleco hd-500, or switch to a dlp projector such as the runco vx-101c with video controller. Any opinions on picture quality and which dlp's can handle a throw distance as mine?

Look for a used NEC. They are relatively cheap. If Alan has any left, a XG135 8" crt was $6500. Used ones are about $3000. Be careful though, i bought one on e-bay and it had to go to the shop right away. Someone messed with the controls.

Why don't you look into the Seleco DLP line of products. The screen size vs. throw distance you are looking for is perfectly what Seleco offers.
