Its dumb to be talking about front projection vs. rear projection etc. because the reason we are all in this stock is that its a r&d company on the verge of selling a product (business plan of 20,000 units) 3,000 already commited to the WIZ and other deals probably in the works.. For you to say you know virtually nothing about rear projection tvs when they account for approx. 98% of the market is foolish. What would you rather invest in a front projection company with a tiny market or a company using a new digital end solution for the masses which won a design award at the show. Your comment about audio shows either a lack of knowledge or some biased spin you are trying to put on this product. In case you really didnt know rear projection tvs that incorporate surround sound rarely ever have more than 20 watts and usually 10 or less. Every review I have ever read for serious home theater enthusiasts recommends never using the audio that comes with the tv and completely building a seperate surround sound. Marty Hollaron even explains that in an article saying that their 20 watts stereo speakers were intended to set up an audio sale for the store they are in. If you really knew your stuff you would know that..... as to the price rear projection sets go from about 1800- 5000 currently with the average from 2500-3500 . Everything I have read says that these sets are better than crt projectors in rear projection tvs so that combined with the computer jacks and the easy manuverability and movable projector makes 8000$ justifiable in my oppinion. Not everyone will agree but those seeking the best will fork over an extra 2000$ for this product --believe me. By the way since you are such a front projection afficionado I just thought I'd let you know that the only ones I've seen required almost complete darkness in a room which is one reason why they are not main stream. But to get back to the point all I care about (I've been in this stock for over three years) is that this product goes to market and more deals are forthcoming - whether you think its great or lousy is really immaterial...
