    Why wait for that you could have a Epson TW 4000 or even TW 5000 for that price and still have a bigger screen...

    I dont see why people waste 2 or 3 grand on a Plasma or LCD when you can get a projector at the same price and watch everything twice the size. Everyone that walks threw my door goes WOW... even had a tradesman sit down and watch TV for like 15min.

    @ fandtm666 - can your projector fill your screen? Or can't you get it back far enough?

    Well my systems are a bit ordinary by previous post standards, but any way...

    ----Main system----

    40" Shaub Lorenz 1080p LCDTV
    Denon AVR-2700 (old, but working fine, so not allowed to replace)
    AR M2 Front mains (same as above)
    Goldring alloy rears, with no-name, new-ish, replacement 5" japanese drivers
    Brand-less 100W 2x4" centre
    Core2 Duo HTPC with VisionPlus sat card, Hauppage DTV card, nVidia 8600GT +HDMI in a Silverstone LC11m case (no blu-ray yet until internal readers come down in price a bit more)
    Humax 5400
    DM500S
    Austar receiver
    Un-rememberable brand, cheap Indonesian dish positioner, 3.7m c-band dish, 1.8m Ku prime-focus etc. etc.

    ----Outdoor system----

    El-cheapo Acer laptop
    Viewsonic cheap as chips XVGA DLP projector
    2.7m waterproof portable screen made from white rubberised canvas and aluminium extrusion
    NAD 3020i stereo amp
    2 x Redback 8" portable PA speakers

    I have Clipsal star-serve throughout the house as well, but it doesn't really come under the 'Home Theatre' category.
