I was just looking for opinions on what would be the best for watching TV (DirecTIVO) and DVDs..... Rear projection HDTV or a Projector?


I would really like a projector, since they are so portable and are more compatible with computers (I would like to have a HTPC). But I am wondering how practical it would be for watching standard TV.


Would a RP-HDTV be better for watching TV?


I have DSCALER and would love to hook up a HTPC to either a RPTV or PJ.


Suggestions/Comments? Anyone use a PJ for watching TV? How's the wife factor?


Thanks!

I wish I had room large enough for a front projector, so if you have the space go with front projection. Make sure you have a room that can get really dark.

I have a 56" RPTV and now a 96" wide FP.


FP wins in my book hands down! I've had it for 5 months and I still can't get over watching such a big picture!

and you like the FP for watching TV as well? Does the room always have to be totally dark? Is a RPTV better for higher-light situations or could a FP do just as well?
