Did someone pass away? Is the forum closing? Why am I always the last to know these things?

We have huge machines in a totally dark room, hush boxes/ventilation/noise issues, low brightness, ??? hour tubes and hope for replacements, uneven colour balance brightness and focus across the screen, fungi, huge amounts of time (or money) spent on appropriate calibration... 
Just pick your poison! I'm extremely sensitive to rainbows so DLPs are a no no, with LCDs I keep seeing the SDE on pans BESIDES as you mention the weird motion artifacts. My CRTs shortcomings do not bother me as much since they are constant, they do not "pop up" in certain scenes in a movie. But I DO acknowledge why some people might choose any one of the 3 technologies, it will simply depend on what they value the most, and what bothers them and what doesn't.
Personally I really like digitals (some of them anyways, but I even enjoy the lower end LCDs since they are good enough for gaming thus preserving the CRTs' tubes). It's just that I prefer the CRTs overall "image" mainly because I'm bothered by particular issues with the digital technologies. Still have to see SXRD in action though.
I'm prepared to be flamed now... I'm well aware all these issues I've pointed with CRTs can be overcome/lessened etc if one's willing to spend some time and/or money but so are some of the issues you mention with digitals.

(I couldn't resist - anyway it's not like any digital owners will read this. Why would they bother lurking in the CRT Forum, CRT is dead )

There does seem to be a lot of negativity flowing around these forums. My toy is better than your toy etc... but there is a simple cure, don't get involved heh
No projection tech is perfect, they all have strengths and weaknesses. Pick the strengths you like and go for it... then watch your favorite movie.
Ansi contrast is the "new battleground" it's nothing new, it's just getting attention.

Mabe some of you missed the memo:
CRT PROJECTORS THROW AN ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS IMAGE!
I prefer CRT projectors as my ultimate reference for pleasurable viewing.
Big surprise there...
