Rich,
Have you see nthe Sanyo's I am talking about?
They sport a 700:1 contrast (amazingly high for a LCD). They look really really good.

One person compares itfavorably or comparably with the JVD D-ILA machines:

Another comments:
"The brightness is fantastic. With some ambient light in the room the image takes on a beautiful balance, as stated in the projectorcentral review. When there is no light in the room, I still wouldn't consider the image "too bright", but it's definitely brighter than film on my 90" DIY gray screen - the image "glows", almost like a tube-based CRT device - good if you like that kind of look, but some might not consider it "film like." What I did was pick up a neutral density filter (.6) for viewing with the lights off. With the filter, the image is noticeably darker, but is much more film-like in my opinion. The blacks become at least as good as the JVC D-ILA, and the whites still pack more than enough punch."


I am sure, despite its features that the black are inferior to your CRT, however I can see my image perfectly with all my room lights on- try that with your CRT and let me know how it goes - the Sanyo kills it if room lighting comes into consideration I bet.

Plus- a big benefit I am extroling ofthe projector is size & weight.
A 150 lb CRT isnot as maneuverable.
