  Looking at getting a projector TV for my basement. Any suggestions?
• j_crazy

  that's my honest suggestion.

  Ok...pros and cons?
• j_crazy

  

  1. they're huge
  2. for a good one they're expensive
  3. lamps still go bad.
  4. anything not remastered, or shot in high definition (i.e. lower resolution shit) will look like shit.

  Huge? A projector that mounts to the ceiling or wall?
• j_crazy

  Yea I would not even think about a Projector TV. Either LCD or Plasma. If it is going to be in a dark room than go with the plasma as they are cheaper and look a little better IMO but they glare something horrible so they have to be in a dark room. If there is windows, go with a LCD for sure.

  yeah but if you've got like a 100" area on a wall where you can put your screen i'd say do it.

  It's a vivitek. I'd have to look up the model number. I got it on amazon for $750.
