I know the $$$$ are making you nervous, but don't let it get to you. Take the wife to a few demos and see how she likes the picture on the DLP sets. Remember, only a small percentage of people have any adverse affects from the technology. It's not like it's a 50-50 shot, it's only a few percent. Look on the bright side, less time in front of the TV leaves more time for sex. If that doesn't do it, is there any way that you can trade in the wife if she does see rainbows, but you just love the picture?

I wouldn't worry about the dead pixels on the RP LCDs either. From several feet away, even if you had two dead pixels together, you won't notice it. The dead pixel complaint comes from people that just have to put their nose right up to the display and check for the minutest flaw. You don't sound like that anal of a person. What you do have to worry about with the rear projection LCDs is the poor black level detail. At best, it can be called washed out. Black level capability is an important factor for me in display technology. While digital displays can equal CRT (none of them, although Panasonic's plasma glass comes very close), RP LCD is the worst. Now, if poor black level detail doesn't bother you, does the animated, almost cartoonish look of the RP LCDs bother you? If not, give them some consideration.

By the way, I am just exaggerating a bit with the picture description of the RP LCD displays. And I did say " a bit".
