Now you just need to add a projector. The lovely InFocus ScreenPlay 5700 is currently going for $1500 - $2000, I'm considering one myself.

Now what I need is a good room to put all of it in.

I can live with the 27" tube for a while longer, til I get a widescreen plasma.

Projectors are unbeatable for home theater, but I can't see myself watching a football game or Law and Order on a projector.

Maybe the middle room..... Hmm

[I do need some surrounds though, but that's not at the top of the list.. some Polk R15's will do fine when I find some cheap]

Projectors have come a long way, and don't suffer the horrible motion blurring that made them so bad for sports. Also the 5700 is bright enough for use in ambient light conditions, so can be used in the day with less than perfect blackout. But I agree they can be a pain for casual watching purposes at times. All that pissing about with the screen to watch the news for 15 minutes. Needs to be supplemented with a TV for "casual" viewing.

Yeah, I agree... but for the forseeable future, I will be perfectly happy with "just" a TV
