I built a HT room and installed an InFocus 7205 projecting onto
a 103" Stewart Firehawk screen. The audio is 5.1 with Magnepans front
and rear. Without exception, everyone who's seen it is blown away.
Excellent contrast, natural colors with tremendous saturation,
superb resolution. HDTV looks incredible, making even DVD's appear
second-rate. LCD, plasma and CRT are OK but not in the
same league. The only problem with front projection is it takes
a moderately large room.

... you wouldn't like it so well if you had ever seen a well setup CRT projector. That's what we have at the Ayre factory -- a 7" Mitsubishi CRT projector that was only made for the Japanese market. It's scary good, and *leagues* beyond any single chip DLP I've seen (and I've seen plenty).
The 3-chip DLPs and DILAs are *much* more "solid" and "film like" than the single-chip DLPs, although the black levels still suck compared to CRTs. Plus you are talking $30,000 and up for a good 3-chipper.
(Anyway, I would assume that the original poster who purchased a 27" direct view LCD is not very interested in a projector.)

  fwiw the LG LCoS RPTV is a 3-chipped unit. Spatialight makes the chipset.
