I'm stoked they are working on HUGE screens. I'd be very happy if they used some of that technology to create a reasonbly priced 80" screen for those of us ready to upgrade from our 60-65" screens.
I'm not looking to adopt but friends are always welcome to come over and watch a movie - please bring your own date.
My 65" TV is about 6 years old- RPTV - mits - still looks fantastic (I tweaked it quite a bit) but I'd be happy to upgrade if there was something I could afford that looked at good in an 80" model. I didn't get the 72" RPTV because at the time the 65" looked much better. They've long since stopped making my type of TV but if you read the forums for only about $2,500 (back then now much less) it has one of the best pictures available but it is rather bulky. To get a great projector that compares in quality, I'd need about 30K - I've looked at a lot but most just don't look great to me. An 80" plasma could potentially look good and still be in a price range I could force myself to accept. If there was a decent 80" I could shuffle my old 65" into my bedroom and replace my old CRT. Little goes to waste at my place - everything eventually moves from the living room to the bedroom when I upgrade. My friends, family and the salvation army are usually happy to take whatever gets upgraded from the bedroom.

Are you looking to adopt?
