If you had the funds would you spring for one? Just curious to see how many tv fanatics we have lurking around these parts.

How much is it? I think it's a realistic idea seeing as projectors are somewhat expensive and deliver a very average picture, and an LCD would be perfectly crisp. Also no need for replacing bulbs, and no need to buy a screen, projector mount, etc.

I have a 120" screen, but it's not LCD. LCD screen that size is crazy!

Panasonic do a 103 inch plasma. it is £50,000 at John Lewsi (including installation at around £5000) so it's around £45,000 ($90,000 approx.)

I would think Sharps one would be more expensive as it's LCD, people prefer LCD, well i do.. I reckon in a few months they'll be doing even bigger, always gets bigger and better and far more expensive! lol

they didnt mention a price on it as of yet so that has to be a sign of how much it will cost..lol i can only imagine the price though considering the are releasing a blue-ray player thats going to runn close to 1,200 bucks. heres more detailed news on this baby.

A projector with a similar picture quality would cost ~10K (Marantz VP12S4)

It's still cheaper to get a pj if you want a huge screen. Until those huge LCD's drop by almost 75% I'll be a happy pj customer :)

Projectors are still the preferred way to get super huge images.

And I thought plasma was more popular than LCD?

108" would be nice but having the room for it to properly display would be another thing. Of course if you can afford the tv you can afford to have a room that big :)

I am getting ready to buy a 37" lcd, thats good enough for me!

Plasma's aren't as good quality as LCD though. Very blurry.

The US version is around seventy grand, not ninety.

Get a rear projected dlp tv.
no burns and no dead pixels :) Although slightly fatter, but I wouldn't care at all.

can't hang a dlp above the fireplace though! About the only thing to deal with on dlp is replacing the lamp every now and again.

I think right about now LCD has got the market cornered. I think I am going to replace the 27" TV in my bedroom I have had since 1994 with a LCD also

But you're not supposed to install any tv over a fireplace, it gets hot there ;)

nah as long as you have a mantle and don't have it too close to the top you should be good. I had one (actually a plasma) at my old house with no problem

When all else fails... if the plasma leaves burns, BURN IT MORE. Toss it in ye ol fire, and watch it melt/explode!
BWAHAHAHAHAHA
