Alright, I am currently in Afghanistan so going to look at TVs and projectors is a far cry from possible, (no big screens or projectors in the desert) but when I get back to the states (soon i hope) I want to upgrade the display on my Theater. Heres the situation, I have a 14'x11' room but the display will go along the long wall. There a sliding glass door that faces outside on the short wall so i can not take advantage of the long throw if i were to go with a projector. The other 3 walls are solid, no windows and the other far short wall has a closeable door. So with a heavy set of drapes I could get pretty decient ambient light control. The choices are to go with a 65"RPTV either the new Hitachi 65S500 or a Pioneer elite 730 maybe the mitsubishi 65ws413 but as I said I cant go look at them right now. The second option is to go to a FP. I am looking at the Panisonic PT-l300u or the Epson tw100h (if i can find one) or another projector with a short throw. The problem is I very little have expierence with FP and frankly im leary of the limitation of not being able to have light in the room while watching movies.
The limitations are that I sometimes watch movies when the room is not completely dark so I can do work and I plan on spending up to 5K on the display but hey its only money so if there is something that i need to have to make this work let me know about it please.
The Main Use for the display will be DVDs. Second will be video games and third is SD.
I am just looking for opinions on this stuff so when I get back I have a better idea of what to look for so feel free to express opinions. I've researched the heck out of these things but cant wait to get a look at them. Thanks a lot for your time and input.
