Wonder what the hold up is on BIG screens for the common man. I bought a 65" rear projection CRT Mits about 3.5 years ago (about $3000 at the time-dropped in price the following year). People who've recently purchased very expensive LCDs and Plasmas say my TV looks great. While my TV doesn't do 1080p (which I really wish it could), the quality for standard DVDs look as good as the newest TVs for the most part.
If they want me to part with money, they should start making 80" screens below $5000 that look as good as CRT and can do 1080p. There isn't a huge incentive for me to invest any money until I can get a BIGGER screen. Sure 1080p would be nice but until the format war is over or hybrid rules over both, why should I upgrade to 1080p? The real incentive would be to get a BIGGER TV that looks as good as my old one.
