Other than seeing Draganm's 8500 the other day, it had been a couple of years since I had enjoyed the silky goodness that is a projected CRT image. I think I'm really going to enjoy having this set (especially when you take into account my whopping $150 investment in it). Right now the geometry is off by a fair margin on the edges, the focus needs to be tightened up a tad, and all of the convergence needs to be reset and re-done, but still it's a very watchable image as-is. It's very true what the CRT'ers say - there is a certain 3-D aspect to a projected CRT image that you just don't get with flat panel technology (at least the flat panel that I have).

I watched a documentary on the monuments in D.C. last night and was grinning the whole time. While not quite as sharp as my LCD, there was a depth to the image that my LCD has never had. It really enhanced the content and made this little project all the more rewarding.
