[QUOTE="yacob.naif, post: 2365279, member: 565696"] 99% of houses/apartments don't have an appropriate room for a projector you pretty much need to design a room specifically for that purpose you need a way to control ambient lighting, and of course an unobstructed path for the projector, and a seating position that's just as far from the screen as the projector for the best light reflection back to your eyes with the least amount of distortion, which is why the loudness of a projector is an issue, since ideally you'd be sitting directly above/below it if you can set one up PROPERLY in a light controlled room, there's nothing like them, period, but the low (comparitively) initial cost of a projector is quickly overshadowed by install costs if you want to do it properly, not to mention the bulbs can cost $400-600, and only last 2-3 thousand hours. And a GOOD screen costs in the thousands as well. I'm personally, a projector BUFF, i would LOVE to have one, some day.... But you have to keep in mind there's a difference between simply buying a projector, and having an appropriate installation for it to be displayed correctly. Kinda like buying a $1600 solox 18" without taking into consideration the space and power requirements. Sounds like B&W's being pretty reasonable on his screen-size requirements, and while a projector's an awesome way to go, it's really not very practical for most houses/budgets/screen size requirements, let alone NEEDS........ Sounds like you're up the right alley with the Elite. A friend of mine has an old elite setup from the crt-rear projection days that still looks just as good as most of the non-hd stuff out there even today. They don't slap the 'elite' sticker on anything less than brilliant. [/QUOTE]
