Something like this would be bare minimum IMHO:

Of course, you would also want to make sure that the room has proper light control otherwise the picture will be washed out. I think given your budget it will be hard to get a decent projector setup. I would stick with a flat panel. If you want big, find a used DLP TV.

Light isn't a problem and projectors seem to fit right in this setup to me

Man, talk about bump-mapping where the 720p Panny's excel...


This damn TV is a tank! It's nearly 9 years old, not a single hiccup. Japanese capacitors = Highly trusted
