I was playing HALO and Ghost Recon on a 19" for about 6 months... SUKD! I
looked at rear projection, plasma, and a Sony WEGA... Stayed away from RP
because of burn in and plasma is still up for debate. I settled on the 40"
WEGA and it ROCKS!!!!!! Just need to upgrade to surround sound with a Sub
Woofer. Brother-in-law has the new SAMSUNG DLP wide screen set (50" and only
weighs about 88 lbs) it is an awesome set with very vivid color and many
extras.
