I think she just likes the idea of a "TV" and the older projectors were very dim. I think she has a hard time with the idea of the newer projectors being able to be used in a reasonably lit room.
I would not mislead you, it is an issue. I honestly could not recommend it without either (1) a dedicated room, (2) a pretty dark multi-use room, or (3) as a secondary source with a smaller primary TV for daytime and BS watching.
Sorry, hate to side with the WAF, but for this budget level, I have a hard time telling sombody to drop $3000 when, in truth, full time use in a lit room would inhibit enjoyment.
