I was big in these, built a few. I tried getting some info from a member to help him out, but there was a bunch of PM issues. Don't know if he got what I sent or vice verso.

Currently we have an 65 inch 1080P hooked up to a 5.1 old Yamaha system. With a Sony Bluray player... This will be going in our hanger next year.

Cool, when ours goes into the hanger next year. I have some wicked ideas. LCD or Plasma above fireplace. Then pull down projection screen in front. 7.1, floor standing speakers... We have a decent budget for it, but next year.

Once you get into 70 inch, 1080P, arent you looking at spending 20k?

Probably, also projection is not much any more. I seen some nice projectors for $5,000.

dlp and projectors arent anywhere near the quality of a plasma, lcd, or LED.
i personally have a dlp, and have many friends with projectors.

Have you seen a quality projector? This is not for the poor man, you need to spend a bit more. If looking at new. $2,000 project vs $2,000 Plasma. The plasma will bet better, yes.

i dont. my dlp is 56", and is 1080p. when i go to best buy and check out the tvs, the 58" lcd blows my mind. and i have NEVER been impressed with picture quality of a projector, considering i dont want to block off all my windows and turn off all my lights when i want to turn the TV on.

Well that's your take man. A quality DLP projector in a light controlled room has little competition. For a regular living room a lcd my fare better with light issues. It also depends on what dlp brand tv you have, my 73 mits diamond is second to none in a dark room man.

I think I got some pics on my photobucket, but I will have to post them later.

I have a Yamaha 5.1, but I just orderded a Denon AVR-590 that will do HDMI, can't wait!!! Unfortunatley, it's on back order, but I gotta get that straightened out. It's 5.1 as well, it's got some amazing features, can't wait till it gets to my place. I'll be home in a couple weeks too.

Fronts- Bic Acoustech HT-88s
Center - Bic Acoustech HT-65
Rear - Athena B1.2 Bookshelves
Sub - Speakercraft bassx 10"...I need another sub, cuz it's just not filling the room. The room is simply too big.

25x18x8

I also use a HTPC now, it'll play anything up to 1080p and it looks amazing, usually I cruise LS1.com or pretty much do anything I want on my tv.

It's a 46" LN46A550 from Samsung, wish I would of gotten the 52". Who knows, I might get a projecter some day, but I've never seen a high quality projector anything close to my setup. No one around here gives a fuck about HT.....I love it though.
