I'm looking for a theatre display again.....
Vigo:
The 3d Panny TV I just bought was $700. The same brand non-3d tv of the same size/resolution was $650 and was not network ready. Getting the 3D one was a no brainer in my case. I wanted direct streaming, so I was willing to pay the extra $50 anyway.

And it's probably a super unintuitive remote because they almost all are. Moreover, you don't just have to turn on the power. You also need to select inputs and other things as well. Anyway, you'll notice that I didn't say I would never buy a projector. I said that for me, right now, living in an apartment rather than a house, a big TV makes more sense. When I have a house and can make the effort to control everything with a Harmony using IR blasters or RF, I think it very likely that I'll seriously consider a projector.

Just thought I'd mention that IR bounces off of the projector screen or wall, so in general you don't need an IR blaster. My projector works great with my Harmony remote when I point the remote towards the front of the room, even though my projector is on the ceiling in the back of the room.

Buy yourself a cheap projector and a decent supply of bulbs (3) and it will be the best purchase for a home cinema. I'd stay away from the IM2 C3X Lumis 3D-S and get yourself a Acer H5360BD as it does 3D and the price is pretty much a steal. The replacement bulbs are really cheap too. I just have an old Sanyo which I use on occasion that does the job with XGA resolution.
Great with the Topgun and Xbox House of the Dead. ;D

The #1 reason by a country mile to own a projector is Ikaruga. At least the GameCube version has an option in settings for a vertical screen, which is pretty well useless with the typical TV screen, but with a projector it's a simple thing to get 7' vertical feet of Ikaruga on the wall. And it is amazing.

Worth considering, for sure, at $520 shipped.
