It's so sad that the majority of the population doesn't do any research into buying their electronics. "Oh, look how thin this one is...I'll take it" It's this kind of attitude that will kill the RPTV and nothing else IMO.
For right now, the pros of some RPTV's outweigh the cons of it. Anyone even considering a new big screen needs to do themselves a favor and check out Samsung's LED DLP. No chance of burn in and the light source will last the life of the TV (theoretically). LCoS looks damn good as well, but unfortunately still rely on incandescent bulbs.
As soon as Laser RPTV and Laser Projectors come out, nothing else will even compare in picture quality....unless of course SED ever comes out.
“An engineer explained to us that hundreds of ear impressions were gathered in the name of research, and while each one obviously boasted its own unique shape and size, one single characteristic remained uniform across the board: the entrance into the ear canal is not a perfect circle, it's an oval.”

I just got one of the 61" Samsung LED DLPs. It surprisingly light (73 lbs) and thin for a DLP (15"), but the viewing angles are horrible.
