I have a lcd projection hdtv. 42" Sony A10 series. It does have a little bit of a brightness drop from below (I have it set on a fireplace in the corner, bottom at 48"). My wife and my best friend claim they can't see it, but tilted the tv forward a little so I didn't see it anymore. It doesn't wash out to either side though. Perhaps that happened with earlier models. I know it still does with standard projection tv. I found that LCD projection and DLP were the best dollar-size-picture value. I did think that a plasma looked a little better, but not enough to double to price. I chose LCD projection over DLP because I didn't see the "screen door effect" but I could see the "DLP rainbow". The "silk screen effect" was present on both TVs, but does not bother me. The high ambient light also made the matte screen tvs preferable.
Also, as a side note, when I started my research last year, I determined to my satisfaction that burn in is not an issue with current plasmas regardless of use.
