My opinion... SKIP it and hold out.  Rear projection TV's really stink in general, I don't know why anyone even buys them any more when there are so many better options and LCD panels look SO much nicer.  Even LCD panels are getting into the $1000 range and FALLING every few months.  Wait a year and you will probably be able to get a 42" LCD panel for that same $700.  Or something even nicer if you add a little to it while you save.

It has a big screen, but that's it.  I'd rather have a smaller LCD, or as a compromise even a smaller and cheaper CRT monitor.

That LCD panel price drop is finally happening now.  A lot of people have been waiting a couple of years for that.  Hell, even me[/i], the biggest CRT proponent out there, finally acquiesced and picked up an LCD because the prices on the LCDs are approaching where the CRTs were 5 years ago.

The main reason I am not even tempted by the 52" deal is that I have a little tv destroyer due in February. I won't settle for anything less than a lcd securely mounted on the wall as high as possible.  ;D

ChadTower:

That little destroyer won't have the ability until sept or oct, probably... so bide your time.  Bide your time.

When our first was born, we had an ancient 27" CRT on a footrest with a cardboard frame.  Had to get a real entertainment center then, no good having the baby pull the TV down on his face.
