Here in a little while, I'm going to be moving into a new house. So, here's my quandary... I'm going to be making a dedicated room in the basement, and I'm trying to decide between a 65" Hitachi and something on the order of an Epson Home 10 (but not nailed down on brands/hardware at all).
I'm considering price (would like to keep budget under $3,000 - and I am considering cost of replacement bulbs), but I'm also considering screen size (I'll probably do three rows, all sofas, with the rear two on risers), and general aesthetics. I'll be able to control the lighting, so a dimmer projector may still be doable. What do you guys think?
I'm leaning toward a projector, since that'll let me put the screen on a wall, use a curtain, and things will be more "movie like," but at the same time, I lean toward the RPTV for more "durability," less hassle, etc...
