OK, here is the problem, my 32 inch CRT-type Sony KV-32XBR400 TV is not projecting a picture. I have sound but no picture. Last year, Jany 15, 2004, we replaced the picture tube on this TV, cost about $1100 for the repair. My thinking was if I get this TV repaired I shouldn't have anymore problems. I was wrong.
In order to have the TV looked at, I'm going to have to pay $183 for a technician to travel out to the house and open up the set and tell me that I have a problem. Last year, I paid $486 in labor to have the tube replaced. The picture tube is under warranty.
My mind set now is, cut my losses short and just dump the TV and buy new.
I already have a Sony 42" LCD rear projection TV (which I like alot, even though the picture is not as good as the 32" XBR).
My quesition is what are the pros and cons of the DLP vs LCD rear projection or is there another type that I should review or should I have the old one fixed?
Thanks.
P.S. The 32" sony xbr weighs 200 lbs and I am really tired lifting and moving the thing by myself!
