Video for Movie Room


I'm looking for a new video display for a room that will be used for movies, games, etc. I would prefer not to have to have complete darkness at all times, so I wonder if projectors are out?? I'm interested in budget projectors as well as large rear projection tvs. I need 55+ inches. Budget is $1800 or less and used if fine.

Thanks

If your room can handle the size,a good rear projection system could fit the bill.They can handle some ambient room light,i.e. daytime viewing.A lot of them are being replaced by flat panel TVs,so they are quite affordable.I've seen Pioneer Elite sets going for less than $1K.The Elite Pro-610/620HD sets are 58" and the 710/720 are 64".The x30 models were the last to be produced and have had some problems.But I believe they have DVI inputs,whereas the x10/x20 models do not.I own the PRO-520 (53") and it's been a great looking set.
