Projectors can do twice (way more, even) that size....and at a grand, that's cheap for a 104" 1080p. Great for showing UFC fights in the backyard and movies for the kids on the side of the house.

Go ahead, price a 104" LCD or plasma....LOL And then move it from place to place.]]>Jul 22nd 2009 5:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/22/vivitek-to-shake-up-hd-projector-market-with-1080p-h1080fd-at-9/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/22/vivitek-to-shake-up-hd-projector-market-with-1080p-h1080fd-at-9/Jul 22nd 2009 6:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/22/vivitek-to-shake-up-hd-projector-market-with-1080p-h1080fd-at-9/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/22/vivitek-to-shake-up-hd-projector-market-with-1080p-h1080fd-at-9/Jul 22nd 2009 6:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/22/vivitek-to-shake-up-hd-projector-market-with-1080p-h1080fd-at-9/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/22/vivitek-to-shake-up-hd-projector-market-with-1080p-h1080fd-at-9/I'll take 52 crystal clear that work on any room with or without light versus 100 blurry image that look like total crap

I can't move it my self because it is too big to hold. The projector is like 20lbs.
Also of note, this one is rated for 29db. Mine is 19db and I can't hear it at all. The PS3 is way louder by comparison.]]>Jul 22nd 2009 6:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/22/vivitek-to-shake-up-hd-projector-market-with-1080p-h1080fd-at-9/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/22/vivitek-to-shake-up-hd-projector-market-with-1080p-h1080fd-at-9/
Don't tell me you watch UFC sober.]]>Jul 22nd 2009 6:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/22/vivitek-to-shake-up-hd-projector-market-with-1080p-h1080fd-at-9/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/22/vivitek-to-shake-up-hd-projector-market-with-1080p-h1080fd-at-9/
I have a 720p/1080p projector in my apartment at 100'' screen and it looks exactly like a TV. Yes, TV's are a bit brighter, but it's not to the point where it makes a huge difference. Go ask any person that actually owns a home theater projector and they will tell you the exact same thing.

As said before, this isn't 1995. Front projectors aren't crap anymore.]]>Jul 22nd 2009 7:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/22/vivitek-to-shake-up-hd-projector-market-with-1080p-h1080fd-at-9/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/22/vivitek-to-shake-up-hd-projector-market-with-1080p-h1080fd-at-9/
LCD is way better (in quality) than a projector BUT a projector is portable.

They call it the "den" and they put the christmas tree in there in wintertime.) in a $160k-$175k home. It's not extravagant by any means, but a projector makes a helluva lot more sense than a 150" TV would have. The picture still appears very clear because the seating is farther away than your typical 7 or 8 feet.]]>Jul 22nd 2009 9:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/22/vivitek-to-shake-up-hd-projector-market-with-1080p-h1080fd-at-9/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/22/vivitek-to-shake-up-hd-projector-market-with-1080p-h1080fd-at-9/Jul 22nd 2009 5:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/22/vivitek-to-shake-up-hd-projector-market-with-1080p-h1080fd-at-9/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/22/vivitek-to-shake-up-hd-projector-market-with-1080p-h1080fd-at-9/Jul 22nd 2009 6:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/22/vivitek-to-shake-up-hd-projector-market-with-1080p-h1080fd-at-9/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/22/vivitek-to-shake-up-hd-projector-market-with-1080p-h1080fd-at-9/]]>Jul 22nd 2009 7:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/22/vivitek-to-shake-up-hd-projector-market-with-1080p-h1080fd-at-9/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/22/vivitek-to-shake-up-hd-projector-market-with-1080p-h1080fd-at-9/Jul 22nd 2009 5:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/22/vivitek-to-shake-up-hd-projector-market-with-1080p-h1080fd-at-9/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/22/vivitek-to-shake-up-hd-projector-market-with-1080p-h1080fd-at-9/Jul 22nd 2009 6:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/22/vivitek-to-shake-up-hd-projector-market-with-1080p-h1080fd-at-9/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/22/vivitek-to-shake-up-hd-projector-market-with-1080p-h1080fd-at-9/
