HTPC -- final display device CRT or projector  

I'm using a HTPC with a data grade projector. A high quality cable from bettercables.com or custom calbles.com wont deteriorate the signal much if at all. A RPTV doesn't make much sense because the the HTPC can put out vertical refresh rates greater then 60 which these TV's can't handle.

4) Presentation Monitor

The minimum data grade Sony 1031 projector. More than 15 meters from the pc to the projector. No problems whatsoever.

Hi Gabe:

___An HTPC to a SDTV does not make much sense today. A simple $125.00 STB DVD player could probably do a better job. Once you hit HD though, than the HTPC is the current “King of the Hillâ€. HD RPTV’s can be used but their disadvantages are numerous when compared to a HD FP. For which HD FP you may want to consider, you can begin your search in both the CRT Projector forum and the DLP, LCD, or DILA Projectors forum. You will have a ton of reading ahead of you but in the end, I believe you will very satisfied with both the results and the sense of accomplishment with this solution.

___Good Luck
