yeah, except they are projecting film.  They are starting to have digital projection theaters now.  Quite a few of them around the country.  I am going to check out a demo at NAB in April.

Yeah. Since the company my dad bought our main tv from, well, Sears in the late 80\'s, it\'s somehow a 27" TV. Good Tv, though...lots of good sports moments on that thing :)

Your poll doesn\'t go high enough, mjps!  I have to be lumped in with all the losers who only have 48" televisions! :laughing: :laughing:

Ah well, only Vid beats me with his front projection tv. :confused:  Mine is a 65" rear projection Toshiba.  In hindsight, I should have saved the money for my car fund instead.

That works, but when you get to larger sizes you really need a line doubler/tripler/or quadrupler anyway.  They aren\'t cheap.  Or you at least need an HD receiver that does 1080i.

PS2 looks good, but I really need a line doubler on it to make it kick ass. If they would ever come out with a VGA adapter I would be set.

Racer- your dad probably has one of the same types of units I have.  Mine can go up to 300 inches if I had the room.  My next house is going to have it\'s own theater.  Anyone want to buy my house so I can move?

Ah yes, you must have purchased yours a bit earlier than I did.  Unless you have a newer model?  I bought my 65H80 last year for around $2,999 and I still feel I got taken.  The normal price at the time should have been about $2,600 or so, but the information I was working from was false.  Oh well, I\'m satisfied and it\'s still looking great, especially after having it ISF\'d.  Check ya later.

Heh, in my room I have 20" el cheapo Samsung, it does the job, a friend of mine just got himself a Wega for his room so I might buy something better (I can\'t let him have anything better than I have). But I don\'t really need it that much, I use my Sony G400 alot more.

And I have a 29" Philips in the living room.

That is the same model that I have. I checked the site where I bought it and it is still listed as $3499.95. Where have you seen it for $2600?.

$3500 seemed like a good deal for a 65" HDTV. The specs are at http://www.800.com/prod.asp?P=4220
