They home builders are building living spaces with niches for wide screen or high def.

I've noted that it's silly to buy a plasma for home theatre. If you're building a home theatre, just get your PC and a LCD projector (1600 bucks at dell.com).

I assembled a great 5.1 surround home theatre based on the following:
LCD projector ($1800)
Yamaha5.1 surround system ($200)
Laptop ($1400)

Picture image at night time is 14 diagonal projected on a big flat white wall.

Sound is decoded through the Yamaha box and with DolbySurroundSound systems is actually surround.

Buy Star Wars Attack of the Clones DVD Widescreen edition and enjoy your hometheatre. Snuggle bunny with loved one (who puts up with your expensive habit) only to discover she converts your home theatre with one VCR input into a giant Home and Garden Channel display (AUUUUGHHHH!)

Merry Christmas freepers

14 what?

LCD projected on a wall, with a $200 surround system...you call that "great" 5.1 home theater? If you're not going to go CRT, at least use a DLP projector. I won't even get into your clock-radio surround.

Meant to ask you if this is 14 feet? Oh my, that's quite a creative way to watch home theatre. DVD and TV? How do you feed the TV picutre?

LCD projector (1600 bucks at dell.com).

I hear the bulbs are $200-$300 a pop. I hope they can last for a long time but I hear you might need 3-4 bulbs a year making a projector an expensive medium for TV.

I know what you mean..."Trading Spaces" marathons four hours back to back on Saturday night(ot "while you were out")....arrrgh. I get chased away from my home theater to watch DVD's on my smallish monitor/pc in my bed-room.
