He he he ... I'm basically Dilbert going, "change is good, you go first."
I.e., you be the guinea pig.
I'm looking to upgrade from my current 25ms Sceptre, which I'll use as the 2nd head.

I also have one of those 1050 horizontal line native, Philips 30" wide screen
CRT TVs (123lbs.) with HDMI (DVI+audio) coming in.  For 400-some-odd bucks,
I needed a TV anyway for my apartment, and although it weighs a ton, it's
still portable in the back of my pickup (heavy, but not bulky).  Without either
being a huge projector, let alone not a good viewing angle, while also being
much better both in resolution and cheaper (so if I break it, oh well) than an
expensive Plasma/LCD.

I really can't wait to get a HDMI to DVI converter and send 480p and 1080i
to it, or even see if it'll take direct 1680x1050 or whatever 1050 horizontal
lines is in vertical.

If anything, it's just a HDTV for my Xbox (the only Windows system I
have) and my DVD-R/VHS-HD/FireWire set-top I got open-item for under $100
after some Best Buy points.
