I may jump back into the 1080p market with an "inexpensive" (?) 70" display to backup the dropdown screen for "casual" viewing. Paying 25cents/hour to watch CNN just seems wasteful.
Of course, I need to get a good feel for rear projection/flat panel technologies and reliability (e.g. maintenance costs, including new bulbs), before I take the plunge.
Follow Ups:
Even if one bought a new $500 bulb every 2000 hours (mine is rated for 4000), a PJ still usually ends up being much cheaper (and larger) than a plasma, or even an LCD, of anywhere near the same size. So your $0.25/hour can be worked out to alot more for the latter choices. $/hr a PJ is still very economical, especially considering the size of screen.
That said, it still doesn't take away from the fact that PJ's are generally only suitable for dedicated (very good light control mainly) rooms.
Personally if I had money falling outta my pockets, I'd still have a PJ in my dedicated room and I guess plasma's or LCD's elsewhere (I currently have one smallish LCD in the bar area of my room and three CRT TV's). Would I replace them with newer technology if I had nothing else to spend money on, sure, why not.
and find an excuse to replace it with a brighter, 1080p projector. It was near-SOTA when I first purchased it but many generations of FP later....
