What size screen for front projector?
Looks like the concensus is that he needs a screen around 100"D. and then should adjust his seating accordingly. Thanks for everyone's input. 
What size screen for front projector?
Tireguy - thanks for the input. Yes, it's the VPL (Ruby) that my neighbor is buying. Now that you mention the fact that the PJ is not bright enough to do more than 100" at that distance, I think I remember reading a review that basically said that... 
A comparison of Blu Ray vs Hd for picture quality
I just hope that the best format wins and that it gets the support it needs to be a long term survivor. I was thinking about this the other day when I was looking for something in the storage room of my basement and came across the pile of past fo...

Thanks for the suggestions. Stewart is the brand that he was thinking about. He won't be able to demo as we live 250+ miles from anything you'd consider to be a good a/v or HT shop. In fact he's buying the Sony sight unseen based on all the extrem...

Sony KD-36XS955 CRT -vs- Sony KDS-R60XBR1 SXRD?
Virtually every A/V magazine has rated the Sony SXRDs (50" and 60")as a "Best Buy", or "Highly Recommended" often citing that these new units are equal to or better than CRTs. They also have stated that these units actually out-perform the $13,000...
