...once you see the HDTV side-by-side on a RPTV and a direct view - need I say more?There are things that only direct view can do.
But their limitation is, of course, their size. If you need anything over 36 - then you only have projectors.
Yes, a 36" CAN be too small for most living rooms nowdays. I would not put it there myself. My Toshiba is in the bedroom, where it is marvelous.

size and details of the room (and wife!) really rule out projection TV's for us. It's a family room/kitchen, not a dedicated HT room, but it is our primary TV watching room. The dilemna is that the TV's we prefer (34" 16:9 flat screens) are quite expensive compared to other direct view TV's...but isn't that the way it always is? I'm still mulling it over... Thanks, Eric
...because you can expect significant price drops in just couple of years. There is little question about it. With HDTV we are still in the 'early adaptor' phase, with all the traditional "poor investment" implications.
