What TV do you have and why?

[Silock]

Panasonic PT-AE8000U projector, because my picture in picture is bigger than a TV. 140" screen. 3D.

It kicks so much ass.

Nope. Just needs a new bulb every 4000 hours or so.

In the basement - Runco LS-5 DLP projector w/ anamorphic lens attachment to project onto a 150" screen

Basement bar - 55" Samsung 3D LED

Living Room - 65" Mitsubishi DLP

Bedroom - 46" Panasonic Viera LCD

A few 32" Samsung LCD's scattered around the house.

I think I have a problem.

Damn that's about the same price I paid for my 70.

Don't have the space right now for a screen that big but when the basement is finished I will.

You don't need a huge room at this point. At my old condo, I had a small english basement that was like 12x14 and I set up a theater in there with a 106" screen and it worked great. The projectors nowadays don't need to be a huge distance from the screen.

When I bought my new house a couple years ago it came with an unfinished basement with 10' ceilings so I went crazy with it.

You don't need a screen, really. You can paint the wall and have it look awesome. A screen is better, but the difference is very, very minimal.
