I'm looking at buying a big screen TV (52"), and I'm torn between conventional CRT rear projection models and the new DLP rear projection models. DLP's cost twice as much as CRT models, but the weight and depth advantages are obvious.

I read this month's Consumer Reports, and they indicated that the CRT type projection models are old technology, but fairly well proven and reliable. The DLP models are unknown as far as reliability goes. I don't trust getting advice from Best Buy or Sears, since they probably won't know squat. Don't try to sell me on plasmas or LCD panel models, I'm definitely not interested in that much money. Just looking for a decent bigscreen that will outlast the payments. Anybody out there own one of the DLP models yet, and if so, what do you think of it?
