My assertions that DLP rear projection was best.

Well, wrong again.

Since I argued on this and other forums that this was the best picture in the world, I feel I need to warn others about what's happened.

Not that the picture isn't the best in the world, I still think it is...or was, in my case. The new $1,430 light engine fixed the blue tint, but now the focus is just off.

It seems that dissatisfaction with the replacement optical unit is not unusual.

Since then I've found that Sony are dropping the technology like a hot and expensive stone. I'm insured, but the darn picture is so good that they (the retailer) are arguing that it's okay. After starting life as a tekkie and being the owner of one of the first Computer and Pro video companies in the UK that dealt in high end monitors...oh, and a photographer, I know it's just off. Trouble is that it's so subjective.

Anyway, my dream machine is furry, oh, and obsolete

Can't win 'em all I guess, but when 'posted' out to a place like this, however self-inflicted, T/V is something of an opium for the displaced.
