Too bad most of the companies who make rear projection televisions will no longer be making them in a few months. Sony, Hitachi, and Seiko, are all ceasing production =(. It's really a shame, bang for the buck you really can't beat RPTVs.
I think the split-screen thing with the glasses is pretty awesome. Integrate a headset with headphones and glasses, and you can have a nice TV being shared by multiple people watching multiple sources! Brilliant! No more fighting over what channel to watch! :)
Also, I don't think that it's correct to refer to DLP sets as being LED "backlit". Flat-panel LCD's, yes. Rear-projection (DLP, LCoS, LCD) TV's are not backlit, they are projected using a lamp. It is great that the lamps for rear-projectors and the backlights for flat-panels are now switching over to LED's, but they're not the same thing.
