70" or Projector - Page 2

No. It's fact. And DLP? Really? No. Never. DLP doesn't hold well in light at all. Off angle viewing is worst of any tech to date.

In THIS CASE. It's a fact that a large screen LCD is what's best for the OP.

As a long time projector owner/user for many years, and "now" an owner of 70" and 80" Sharp's my vote would be for the Sharp 70" or 80".

Facts are proven with science, prove your case. Otherwise it's your opinion and there are multiple solutions. He has to decide what the best choice is.

I know what a fact is. That's why I said "In THIS CASE it's a fact that the LCD is his best choice."

I think you need to get a dictionary out and understand facts and opinions. In your opinion the 70" LCD is a good choice. Is it the "best", there are not enough variables to determine that. I have any 11x11 room I am debating whether to put a 84" screen and projector in or a flat panel on the wall. Very similar issues. If I put it on a stand vs. wall hanging, that's a variable. How I can control the light is a varialb. how the seating is arranged is a variable, etc. I can tell you right now in a 12x12 room the viewing angle issues will be minimal.

how in the heck would a projector work in his situation? he has lights on to play cards, etc... this is not a dedicated HT room, he will not use it just for movies, this is a multi purpose situation, and sure wouldnt work during the day... his choice is clear cut, he NEEDS a LCD...

Your not getting it either. That's why I'm stating IN THIS CASE. Not yours. Not Mir. Not others. HIS. And in this case for what he wants. The LCD is what's best. Sure. A higher end sharp could be great as well. But the point is HUGE SCREEN. Doesn't want to worry about light. FACT. LCD will do exactly what he'd like.

Not all facts are science. Fact. My favorite color is blue. It's just how some things work.

It's not a fact; it's an opinion of what could meet his objective. The only fact presented in this thread was the post about visual acuity with 20\\20 vision and what the human eye is able to resolve. The rest has been opinion. There are multiple solutions to his problem. There is no best solution for almost every scenario that anyone can ask in these forums. All options come with tradeoffs. Is a 70 flat panel a good solution, yes, but it really depends on his personal preference.
The purpose of this forum is to give people multiple options for the people asking questions, but misstatements will get corrected. Hopefully the person asking the question is old enough to understand it's not a competition, but everyone is giving them multiple options for their problems, just like life. However, he is the only one who has to live with his choices.

I am done, have a nice weekend.

Here is my take having done both. TV would be better in a multi-use type room, or a room with windows without good shades. Even one wide open window can ruin the effect of the projhector. The projector is obviously better for creating an immersive movie theater experience with screens 100" or more.
