Hi Gracey,

Yes, 14 feet diagonal.

The LCD projector from InFocus is about $1600 from dell.com.

The projector has input for S-video, RCA/Composite video, superVGA, and USB (also audio). The little unit's lamp is the only concern... a couple thousand hours. You'd have to buy a new lamp if the old one burned out (like an overhead projector bulb?).

Still, if you're only using the projector a few hours a night and a few nights per week, you're talking about 1000+ hours per year. So, it would take a couple of years before the bulb blows.

Still, the diagonal viewing is wider than any plasma display.

I understood bulb life was hundreds of hours not thousands, and replacement costs were about $300. Figure a $1 an hour. Not good.
