Just curious. Has anyone seen a video projector used as a TV, and was it any good? My local megaplex has all digital projectors, but I don't think they are as good as film projectors, yet. I suspect they project an image that is too large for the medium.

I see two problems with the wal units: wires, and accessories.

Yeah the wall untils look cool in the commercials, but they don't have any wires in the commercials. I suppose if you're willing to tear into your wall and do some creative rewiring you can still achieve that look but that's a lot of work.

And the modern TV is not a standalone unit, at minimum you're going to have some sort of cable/ sattelite receiver it plugs into and a DVD player, and possibly other (probably other stuff if you're going in for a high end TV, what good is the uber TV without surround sound). Where all this stuff supposed to go when your TV is sitting on a wall.

Flat screen TVs are cool, but I just don't think the wall mount has that big a market, between the cables and the extra hardware you're looking at 2 to 3 feet worth of stuff that's gotta go somewhere, which means some sort of entertainment unit, which is a fine place to put your TV.

I'm holding out for the new technology S.E.D. sets to arrive in the next couple of years. Thousands of miniature "electron guns" rather than one. Plus, CRT sets are destined to become thinner by as much as 50% in the next couple of years. Decisions, decisions.

As I've said here before, my price point for a 42-inch HDTV is $500. Why anyone would pay $3K to watch crap is beyond me.

So wake me when the price gets to that level, and I'll buy whatever technology is available.
