Tubes clean the clock against Plasma's, LCDs or DLPs. But you only get up
to 34" (widescreen) for tubes vs 50", 60" and 70" inchers for the other
technologies. He's my brief run-down of the technologies:
Tubes Pros:
Excellent brightness, contrast, longitevity
Semi-stabilized prices
Tubes Cons:
Heavy
Bulky
Small screens
Plasma Pros:
They're cool looking on your wall
???
Plasma Cons:
Expensive
The picture detoriates over time
LCD Pros:
They're cool looking on you kitchen counter
LCD Cons:
Expensive as hell
Small screen sizes
Standard Projection Pros:
Relatively cheap
Big screens
Standard Projection Cons:
Have to worry about burn-in (I already have some on my 2 year old
50")
Picture/light guns get out of alignment, so you have to manage your
convergence
big screen means crappy signals look even crappier
Microdisplays (LCD Projections/DLPs/ILAs) Pros:
Good brightness and contrast
Big screens
Prices are falling
won't burn-in
no convergence woes
Microdisplays Cons:
Still suffers from being projection based, wide angle viewing is not
always good
Expensive
All in all, I would only buy a DLP or tube nowadays.
Does it bother anyone else that America is so enamored with their
electronics that the average working family is willing to drop $2,000 to
$5,000 on a frickin TV? I think I'll head to Best Buy at lunch and let them
brainwash that silly notion out of my head...
