I assume that "DLP TV" means a DLP rear-projector TV display?

In which case you need to add a DLP (and probably an LCD) front projector to the list.

I use a DLP front projector as my only display with a dedicated MediaPortal PC.

I am sorry, I do not seem to be able to change the poll.
I actually didn't even know that there existed both a "rear" and "front projector" version of DLP and LCD. :?

Panasonic 300A. Beautiful picture but it sure is picky about timings.

It is amazing how more than half of the people who voted are using mediaportal on a normal CRT tv (all be it HD in some cases) or even using it on there pc iso a tv.
This prolly also explains why most skins are in 4:3 format.

Only about 1 person on 3 is using a HDTV. :shock:
How is the quality of mediacenter on a CRT tv (not HD)? Is it manageble or does it hurt your eyes looking at it?
