What will render a better picture quality? An Electrohome ECP 4100 graphics
grade crt projector or a Sony VPL w400q lcd projector, I can ge the sony for a
bit less than the crt and tend to want to go with the crt but will not have the
money for a line doubler for quite a while. I like the picture on the sony but
am afraid I will not be overal satisfied does anyone know the answer to this
question??

The CRT projector is absolutely the way to go. You can add the line
doubler when finances allow. This is a clear path to HDTV and the LCD
is not.

I agre with Jim. Besides HDTV issues, better contrast with CRT units yeilds better
pictures. LCD's excel only in the area of simplified set up.

I would suggest you also look at the Electrohome ECP3100. You can save at
least half of the cost of the line doubler(IEV Turboscan 1500 for $1995) and
all you are trading off is scan frequency. The 3100 will still handle all
proposed HDTV formats. I watched my 3100 for several weeks and got
comfortable with it before ordering my doubler. I had a 7 foot diagonal
picture and sat back 12 feet. I could clearly see the lines but the picture
was still stunning. I wouldn't have been satisfied with the limitations of
the LCD especially after getting the doubler. I think if you check deja news
you will find similiar feelings from others.You will find there are advantages
in terms of ease of setup with the LCD that are just not there in any CRT but
picture quality is a pretty unanimous vote for CRTs. In my case my wife warned
me to buy it once and buy it right!
