Mitsubishi 82 inch big screen TV or projector?


The Mitsubishi 82 inch high definition big screen costs approx $20k.

I Am able to get my room theater dark just by pulling a curtain and my home theater audio system already is in place.

What is the best bet for a projector and screen with that $20k? I will only watch dvd's on the projector. I will continue to watch tv on my 61 inch Phillips 4:3 tv. I would also like the projector to show a 120 inch diagonal image and the screen to accommodate it. It has to be able to show in 4:3 and 16:9.....both at 120 inch diagonal.

My room is 22 ft by 70 ft with 20 ft ceilings.....so I have plenty of room

I'd like to buy new rather than used.

This will not be a dedicated room for home theater. My living room will have to be incorporated with the screen and projector. The screen will have to go against the long wall...so the maximum throw for the projector will be 14 to 18 feet. Even though the room has crazy dimensions....I've got the sound system pretty well dialed in..my system is below
