If you have a flat, white wall, forget the little flat panel and pick up a projector like the Epson Home Cinema 1080 for an 11-foot diagonal. Mine works great with my PS3/Blu-Ray player, my Time Warner HD Cable, and both PCs and laptops.

congrats on the anniversary

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.

"I've found myself using my PC for a lot of conversations lately, and I'm also considering recording a podcast to share with anyone who will listen.
