Yes,

I've looked at projectors as opposed to RPTV, Sony, Marantz, Sanyo and I agree the WOW factor is definitely there. I would love to get one but I have 2 concerns Price and size of the room. I will be sitting 12'-12.5' away from the screen. The HTS i've been to voice some of the same conserns. No one said they couldn't do it though.

Some of the one's I've seen, granted they were not the latest models I didn't like the brighness, and black levels (bot LCD & DLP). I've heard they've improved but haven't seen one in action. Plus the labor to set one up is EXPENSIVE Average of ($2500-$3000). The project and screen are the same price as the Mistu but the labor cost kills my budget. I'm afraid to set one up myself and I have a B.S. Degree in EET. Maybe I'm making too much out of it. I think I can do the TV myself.

The Picture on the Mitsubishi was Awsome, I think better than the LCD and DLP projectors. It does not have the true cinima look and feel like a projector, hence less of the WOW factor. I would prefer having a projector if it wasn't for the installion costs and the distance issue. If I don't set some sort of budget I'll find myself spending $20,000 -$30,000. I was seriously considering a $20,000 package. Any guidance will be helpful.
