Can anyone share experience with such product?

Intended use;

- Would potentially replace 27" CRT Trinitron bedroom (12'x12') TV.

-Would also be used as 2nd projector for outdoor, patio, by the pool and on the road portable movie gig.

-Could potentially also use a 2nd one in the living room replacing Trinitron 27" CRT TV.

-Would also be used for the family Xmas parties in the game area.

-Most of the use would be with my Epson Duet Ultra Portable Projector Screen; http://www.epson.ca/cgi-bin/ceStore/consumer/consDetail.jsp?BV_UseBVCookie=yes&oid=60147282 (however would more likely have a pull down screen of roughly same size in the bedroom).

Considering I am used to CRT TVs in both the bedroom and living room but used to minimum 720p resolution for screen projection would you think I would regret such a purchase or would you think it be a viable option for normal TV and occasional movie watching? If you think this is not a viable option, what would you suggest as an option in roughly same price range.

The built-in DVD/CD player is not such a big deal to me since I own good DVD players for all of the rooms above mentioned however, the built in DVD player would more likely be an asset for the on the road events.

Any thoughts, suggestions?:smile:
