There ain't notin flatter than a projection screen ;)


Think about it, how much time do you spend standing to the side of the tv and admire the profile thickness?

Profile thickness matters to me because of where I want to put the TV.

When I said that 73" was too big I meant from a WAF (wife acceptance factor). She will not want to fill the living room with a TV that large. I need to pick and choose my battles :)

Repeat after me:

Electric Screen.

When you want to watch something, roll it down, when you are done, roll it up. She can have a beautiful painting on the wall.

And like I said, there is no flat screen tv flatter than a projection screen :)

Hell, you can even recess the screen box into the ceiling, you just see a slot looking thing on the ceiling :)

I guess you missed the part where he said he wanted to spend about 2K.

Well then, you need to list your needs in order of importance. So far I got:

$2000 is the limit.
You don't like DLP because you don't like the picture.
You don't think the wife will let you have a 73" set.

Is that it???

Then get a smaller living room. Dunno why people want these big rooms just so they can shrink their TV sets by sitting too far...
