CRT and DLP technology is still the leaders in picture quality at this time. Though there may be some close seconds a rear projection CRT has the best picture as far as big screens go for the money. Don't compare bottom of the line CRT's to top of the line projectors, dlp's, lcd's and plasma's though, they won't cut it. Pioneer elite and Mitsu diamonds offer the best picture IMO especially for the money. Your top of the line projections run up around 10 grand and more.
