First issue with these types of situations is you need to be able to darken the room to a near "black" level. Hard to do in "relatively" sunny Texas, especially since you said a living room. I would look into some professional installers, who are ISF certified. They should be able to give you some information. I would also look at the last few issues of Stereophile Guide to home Theater (don't look at the reviews, they are all the same) for setup hints. There is a running column on home theater setup. Hope this helps.
Follow Ups:
the same amount of room darkening than front projectors?You make a good point against a combined lounge room/HT if you want to view during the day. Generally we do not althoigh can blacken the room effectively with outside roll down shutters if required. Incidentally these shutters are insulated and offer excellent protection from heat, cold and burglars!!!

I don't think so, but even a regular TV looks better in a darkened room. Please note you should have a bit of amibenent light for a monitor.
