This is a future. Forget the plasmas and LCDs. If you have the space and a room that can be darkened, get a projector and throw a 110" image onto your wall. It is a real theater-like experience. I have the Panasonic AE-3000U. Got it in February for $2500. Play Blu-ray using my PS3. If this is a comparable projector, and it probably is, the price is amazing.
@Bandit: Seconded. I went for a more budget projector, 720p, at a price point around $700. Bonus, it came with an extra lamp.
My basement has now become the media room in my social circle. TVs are cool, don't get me wrong, but you put up a theater, suddenly movies become an engrossing experience. Which is what they're supposed to be. It moves from a talking box on one side of the room to a real show.
@DustyButt™: That's not "affordable". "Affordable" means you can purchase it with the money you have lying around. If you're saving up for months and months to buy a t.v. that's your business.
And to be frank, in my experience, people who own projection tvs don't really need or want them. They usually own them just for the showoff appeal, and so mount them in tiny little rooms so that when they're watching the Truman show in High def Jim carrey is just as big as they are oh squeeeee!

Why all the hate? Stashing your loot for a couple of months for a TV doesn't qualify you as "rich" and it doesn't make you a "dickhead" either.
Lighten up!
