Scot is that 119" diagonal on a 16 x 9 screen or a 4 x 3 screen?

Easy answer. BIGGER SCREEN!Great suggestion, Scot!
If my room were not already done with my 106" already installed and drywalled-in (along with my PJ mounting location).
Parker - the Sanyo PLV-60 looks good, but I'm still lusting over the lumens and contrast ratio of the PLV-70. It might be a good fall-back solution, though.

Yeah I have no problems at all with my 120" screen coming off of my l300u.
I wouldn't turn down the 70 either Gordon...if you can afford it go with it!

Okay, friends, I pulled the BIG TRIGGER yesterday afternoon.
Dropped a $10K bomb.
I got full WAF for the - now get this - Sanyo PLV-70
What made this happen was simply ONE factor - light output. When I told Sweet Nancy that this PJ would be bright enough that we could have significant ambient light and still have a great image, she was ALL for it! She does not relish the idea of being constrained to a cave-dark room for hours on end. I explained that with this PJ, we could even hook it to regular TV and still have enough light to read/sort laundry/iron or whatever one does while watching TV if you wanted to. The added resolution & contrast won't hurt either. Also- it has a longer throw to fit my mounting and screen locations.
FWIW, Larrylll came over last night with his Z1 so I could see the first organized photons hit my screen. STUNNING picture!!! The dalite high-contrast matte white screen improved the blacks and contrast over the white wall I saw it on before. Not a lot, but I think I could see an improvement. I also saw screendoor for the first time as we had the focus as sharp as possible. From a viewing distance, it is simply a pleasing "texture" to the image. I did not realize it was there until I got close enough to resolve the screendoor and recognize it for what it was. I can HIGHLY recommend the Z1 to anyone leaning that way. I haven't seen the Pann L300U, but from what I've read, it's in the same general PQ league as the Sanyo Z1. Talk about VALUE!!! I can simply trust (hope/believe) that the PLV-70 at over 3X the cost of a Z1 will be at least as good.
Having done all the research I could on these forums for the past 3-4 months, I was ready to pull the BIG trigger and also got:
Full Rocket system (RS750's w/risers, RSS300's, RS250's, and a RSC200 bigfoot)
SVS Ultra sub
Denon 3803 reciever.
BOOM! Instant Home Theater!!
I'll probably post a note of thanks on the forums about this.
