LCD Rear Projection. I'm just looking into them myself and can't offer any opinion but the technology sounds promising. RCA has a new 50" Scenium LCOS (Liquid Crystal On Silicone) coming soon to a home theater near you that claims better picture and near 180 degree horizontal and vertical viewing angle at a MSRP of $7500. Samsung also has a 40 and 50" version out now that can be had for around $4000 to $5000 respectively. They may suffer the same diffuculty producing pure black as with LCD front projectors, but they are also very flat (around 18" deep at the base) and have very short bases making them tabletopable, (say that word 5 times real fast.) Good luck.
Replace 35" TV with something bigger
I have built a great surround sound system around my old 35" television, which works well, but is pretty small when watching widescreen DVDs. What do you suggest for a larger screen? My 19x16 room can be dimmed, but can not be made completely dark(except at night). I need to put my center channel speaker somewhere also.(currently under the 35" TV)
