I have a 27" rca crt that I've had since I was 19 or 20. My TV upgrade has to wait till the new house. I don't have room for anything bigger, I'm only about 8 feet away from the RCA as is. I'm honestly undecided on what new format is going to settle in as being commonly accepted amongst TVs. Sony's RPLCD's look really nice, but then you see that $10,000 Pioneer Plasma and wonder how long till that trickles down into my price range? What I'd love is a front projector, but I just can't picture watching regular TV on one for some reason. Imagine an 8 foot tall Homer.
