This part of AA is for those who are also interested in HT. However, it is far from what you'll see at avsforum.com (except for every once in a while). Depending on the question, I usually direct people over to AVS because, if they at least have a general understanding of QUALITY video and HT, they'll find much more information and better answers to their questions because that site is more involved in HT and video.

However, in general, I don't direct audio questions from there to here. This forum (the audio part of AA) tends to be very blunt and most direct. If you read the audio discussions from AA and then compare them to AVS, well... feelings might get hurt coming here from there. That's not to say that there aren't smart "audio" people taking part in AVS discussions. It's just that the atmosphere (like on HI-REZ or CABLE, for instance) is something that they might shy away from (here it's bare fists as opposed to gloved "love-taps").

Front projector is still the only way to go if you want size (talking 80 - 120" screens). If you have the space, RPTV will do. But if you want WOW!!!, plasma is the way to go. And "that" is just my opinion. Just look at the "display" section at AVS -- it's rather "divided" (pun intended).

The announced Samsung 70", and I'm sure those that follow, will probably be $20k and up. Maybe someone will pull a fast one and get the price below this (can you say $19,999.99?), but I wouldn't bet on it. At least not right away.

And now for something completely different:
