I currently have a Samsung FP-T6374 63" plasma television. I sit about ten feet from it and after getting accustomed to the size, I am starting to want something bigger. My plan is to sell the Sammy and pick up a little 50" plasma for cable/regular TV viewing and getting a projector setup for exclusively watching movies on. I would be using a PS3 as the player.
My main question would be, what is the image quality like on a projector compared to a plasma TV? Can the black levels compete? Does the image have that same "pop" that a plasma provides?
The room environment can be controlled. It will only be used during the night time and I can get the room to be black. My seating distance can vary from 8'-16'. I would like the biggest screen possible for this distance while still getting optimum performance from the projector.
Since this will only be used once/twice a week for a few hours at a time I am not looking to spend a fortune. Maybe around $1000-$2000. How much do the screens cost and what is a good size for that seating distance?
From a quick look around the board I noticed the older Infocus 7210 had pretty rave reviews. Any comments on this model?
