If you are talking 60" minimum, then the choice is simple.......put an outlet in the ceiling approx 10 - 12' from the theater wall of choice, call me and ask me to bring over my projector, put towel on chest to catch drool.

What's the replacement cost on the projector bulb Kid and how many hours will it last?



I have and maintain about 8 HD-capable projectors for work.

No thanks at home....unless I was way rich and had a built-in movie theater in my house.

While it's a cute idea for the Rich and Sleazy, it's not what TJ wants for his Man Cave.

Look in to a 50-52" LCD Tom. 60" is probably too big for the room you're looking to furnish.

Matter of fact, since I've seen the Man Cave, look in to a Sony 52" LCD. Strong recommendation....hint...hint...hint.

PS. You're welcome, Core!

In that size some are rating the Samsung as the best buy right now. Bottom line figure out the size you want then how much you're willing to spend then go look at them. Everyones eyes are different. In the store be sure to turn the contrast down and such. The display is usually set to ridiculous levels that will wear it out over time.

Still extremely pleased with the 52 inch Sony Bravia on my wall. Have an HD-DVD player with a small collection that I've used a bunch already. The new PS3 only has a couple of days of use on it for games and BD ... Dark Knight was pretty awesome on it.

Most of the recommendations are right on ... LCD's are your current top choice. Skip any fire sales on the 720 sets ... you'll soon be wishing 1080 was available as times goes on and more medium is available.

Costco has a good deal on the Sonys ... their own model, but the engines are the same.

We have a Vizio 42" LCD and a Vizio 52" Plasma, both with HD Direct TV DVR...they work great.

I picked up an LG 60" Plasma a few months ago. 1 word.....AWESOME

I looked at both Plasma and LCD.

Went with the LG Plasma downstairs and a 32" LG LCD unit in the bedroom.

I liked the picture on the plasma better than the LCD in the larger set.

As far as projectors, I mounted one on the ceiling for my kids PS3. Let me tell ya....Call of Duty played on a 7' by 7' display is AWESOME.

LSD. Sorry wrong thread

I bought a 42 inch Panansonic plasma a year and a half ago and I have no complaints. I am not much of a tech head so maybe I did'nt get the best tv out there but it sure beats the hell out of that old hand me down 27" I used to have.-T

Parker, you don't know shiat.

How much is the replacement bulb for your projector Kid? What's the run life on that bulb?

Oh yeah, and how many lumens?

If the bulb was up your ass you'd know. It's $320, 1500 hours give or take, and 3000 or so lumens. I have it setup in my loft bedroom and it's insane.

sony bravia lcd 1080 is the best 50inch plus. I just saw it in consumer reports as I am looking for a 46 inch myself. samsung and sony are the best in the 40 inch range the key is getting one that is 120mhz, this is the measurement of screen speed most now are 60mhz. plasmas get too hot!
