As Chess mentioned size is definitely an important factor in getting a front projector. I am a condo dweller as some people are in here. The room I have is only 16L x 12W x 17H. An RPTV would take up too much room. So if I even think of getting a projector I need to find one with a very short throw lens. One that you can throw a 70"-100" nice picture within 9-14 feet or you will get pixelation since your sitting area is close to the image. There are only a few projectors under $2000 that give you short throw lens, great contrast ratio, and vivid colors. As much as a plasma would suit my environment the pricing leaves me left to be desired. Maybe a couple of years that will change. Also I have heard some plasmas leave burn-in of some images if an image lingers on the same spot for quite some time.
