I've been thinking about a projector for my place but I'm curious as to how a projector compares to my Sharp LCD TV. Are colours from a projector just as vibrant or is the main reason to get a projector just for the size?
As well I can't figure out how I would actually connect my HD Cable and HTPC to the projector which would be sitting about 9 ft away. Do they make HDMI cables that long (well actually longer since it would have to trace up on the ceiling more than likely)?
from what i've seen, the colors are just as good. One of the issues of using a projector over LCD is ambient light. If your tv is used in a fairly well lit room, a projector is not a good choice. Projectors are a good choice for Dedicated theaters where lighting is VERY dim to non-existant.
