My advice to you: Don't touch the gun focus. Ever.


Wow, you can change the color by changing the focus? Who knew?

Anyway, if I were buying something new on a budget, I'd go for the DLP/LCD rear-projector solution, because you get the sharpness and don't have to fuss around with convergence (or focus issues).

Still, make sure you see one in person before dropping your dollars. If you're feeling industrious, take along a video calibration disc (I've got the "Video Essentials" DVD) and make sure you've got the brightness, contrast, and color set properly before you start making comparisons between sets. Most consumer electronic stores have the settings all wrong, particularly with random customers pressing random buttons to see what happens.
