There is no substitute for a real projector; whether it be DLP, LCD or 3-gun FP. A LCD screen on an overhead transparency projector is *snicker* a really poor substitute at BEST.
It would be like saying to your girlfriend: "Here; put on this Angelina Jolie mask and call me Brad!"
A poor substitute for the real thing. In fact, I would rather watch my 32" Sony Trinitron (not a flat screen...the older model) than that contraption from Tom's.

I guess general info on projectors, htpcs, building a screen, etc...sorry...probably a stupid question. I'd like to go cheap but good (isn't everyone????)...for computer gaming, console gaming, movies, tv, etc...I have an okay sound setup...
avsforums.com?

Yeah, AVSforum should cover most stuff.
I think Hometheaterforum is more inviting...
Projectorcentral has a nice projector database.
My 4805 is pretty budgety and I like it a lot.
Got it for $999 including a screen back in the winter.
One thing that confuses me on that is...
Resolution: 854x480
Yet it accepts 720p, 1080i, etc...
I'm assuming it downscales those resolutions?

Yes, and its faroudja scaler/de-interlacer does a very good job at it.
You can get HD LCD projectors for fairly cheap, but for DLP the reasonably prices ones are still ED (unless things have changed and I haven't noticed.... I try to stay away from the projector area of AVSforum
)I have some slightly blurry pics taken of CS:Source I took with my aging Canon A40 of a 720p signal scaled down to 480p.
Here's one
