Beginning projector...


Dear Forum-denizens,

My T.V. recently blew out - now my wife has (graciously) given permission to save up and buy an LCD / Plasma / Projection TV - what's the recommendation from the community? I see that LCDs and Plasmas are coming down in price, and don't need bulbs replaced, but are not as low as projectors. And build your own? Thoughts?

Hey Don, My father and I are looking into equipment for his basement home theater to replace his standard def 60in Monitor, although his room is in the basement with no real light issues from the outside world he likes to watch sports or check out the news scroll while enjoying music.
My original thought was to use a flat panel monitor on the wall for these situations and use a pull down screen with projector for movie enjoyment, then I saw this screen wich on paper boasts almost no problem with use in light filled rooms wich I cant recall its brand but know it starts at $2500 for a 60in screen... now I would be real curious to see a real world demo of this, although it is very pricey it really isnt much more then having to add a quality flat panel to the mix, and my fathers finances wont be a concern with bulb life....just thought I would throw that idea at you.
