We've owned a direct view 38" HDTV (RCA) for about a year and a half and while I haven't noticed any convergence problems, on some programming there is a slight squeezing of the picture on the extreme right and left sides; it's almost unnoticeable, but I think it's inherrent in most if not all direct view WS sets. When you talk about misconvergence I think about 3 tube CRT projectors (front & rearscreen). I used to own a 46" SONY rearscreen (standard 4:3 academy format) and spent hours learning how to adjust the internal pots ...and probably voiding the manufacturer's warranty in the process :o)... just to eliminate niggling convergence errors.BTW, I do like the Plasma monitors in spite of the slightly artificial "more real than real" picture quality (i.e., "beutified" image as you called it), but they seem a wee bit overpriced. Oh well, it's to be expected with cutting edge technology, right? Anyway, the thinness of plasma monitors are a big plus and as long as one is careful to avoid a burn-in scenario (i.e., where a paused still-frame picture actually burns an image onto the screen) the plasmas offer theoretical longevity at least five times that of conventional CRTs!
It's nice to see that cable companies are finally beginning to offer HD programming; in our area we switched from cable to DirectView satellite sevice because our cable company kept making promises but failed to deliver.
