I agree 100 percent. Projection TVs are out of date these days anyway. I would never have one in my apartment. Flat screens -- LCD, plasma, OLED, etc. -- are the sets to have nowadays. If you want to try to get an old projection set working "just for the heck of it" and don't mind spending a lot of time and money doing it, or if you have one that still works (like miniman82's), OK, but always remember that these sets are and have been out of date for some time. When a projection set goes bad and develops a serious problem, best just to put it out for the trash and get a modern LCD or plasma flat screen.
