I recently went by a Best Buy and drooled through their TV section, and I must say that I found rear projection screens very hard to tell apart from LCD screens. The rear projection screens had a slight dropoff in brightness as you moved off axis but it was pretty minor, and within about 40 degrees of center it was still perfect. The picture quality was sharp and brightness was good and of course they are much cheaper than LCD screens.
I am considering the Sharp Aquos 52" LCD screen (retails for $4500 CDN) however they have JVC 61" 1080p HD-ILA rear projection units for $3500 that looked almost as good!
So what advantages does an LCD have over rear projection these days?
