Yeah, everyone is right when they say to buy your projector seperatly. My personal favorites are the 16.
9 LCDs. Even if you satay away from net sellers(Though I can not recommend CinemaSource more!) A Sony VPLW12HT will set you back about$6000, lots cheaper then the DLPs. Yes, there is no copygaurded digital input in case some fool actually gets the studios to regulate analog component inputs to second class status, I am willing to bet it wouldn't last. There are millions of these things out there with only analog HGTV inputs and the stink from a PO'd public would quickly fill the nostrils of those winnies in Washington who would fix it pronto. Of course, Lord knows I could be wrong. Is the Sony you are considering a model with a digital video input, and if so, with one that will be acceptable to the potential Evil Green MeaNIES IN hOLLYWOOD? (When will those people ever figure out that not all of us out there are crooks and could care less about copying something, as long as we can get it for a reasonable price? Take CDs for instance. At $20 list, they sit on the shelf, but at say, $7.50, the volume of sales would make up for the price difference and make oodles of happily satisfied customers)Be sure to get a true 16.9 native display, not just for movies, as even now, when most Tv and sports is 4.3, VERY SOON, HD widescreen will be the norm. As for the other electronics, they are important, but again, don,t get talked into the projector thats a compromise, for thier sake. The projector and the screen realy are the most important part. Want an example? Listen to a full bore surrond system while viewing the video on a 25inch screen. Not the same as a theater, huh? Now, watch that flick on a 10foot widecreen with the sound off. Yes something is missing, but it will be more satisfying.
