I dont blame you- projection still produces a bigger image. size matters!

But- projector put away?!!!!!

How- taken off coffee table? Then you have to re-align it.

Put into projector booth at rear of room? doable- but you have to deal with throw distances.

Motorized screen? Doable- but I dont like them becuase I worry the motor will burn out and I also worry about slight alignment issues.

How about one of the newer ultra large RPTVs? They are very expensive - I think they would cost you around 2x what you want to spend. But they are big and bright. Depreciation would be major on this though.

Another question is what kind of room is this- dedicated theater? Living/family room? How much control over light do you have. If it is a living/family room as I suspect- I would reconsider the plasma or an inexpensive projector. Ultimate performance may not be possible, so why pay for it?
