I got the $999 Sony 30 inch widescreen HDTV 2 weeks ago for my 110 sq ft. bedroom in NY (roomate uses living room for his 19 inch tv). Anyways, I was watching Gladiator last night and it just didn't feel very cinematic on a 30 inch (I have 5.1 HT too).
So I looked at a 46 inch Toshiba rear projection ($1329) and Sony 51 inch rear projection ($1599). Both looked good.
Any pitfalls with PQ of rear projection? Viewing angle doesn't bother me because I am in my bedroom. I sit 7 feet away from tv. Thanks.
Direct view sets have a lot of advantages including higher brightness. For me a 46" RPTV in a 110 sq ft bedroom would be overpowering. The Sony TV got the top rating from Consumer Reports.
