    I'm waiting for a 100" to hit $3,000 - then we can ditch the projector and actually watch with the lights on in the basement media room. I'm hoping that our current projector is the last one we will ever buy.

    And here I thought this big of a TV was ridiculous, until this statement was made. Nice call, very nice call...

    TV pictures are almost life size now aren't they?

    Next stage is holographic TV. B) I doubt I'll be around for that Tech though. :'(
    Most people just listen to music and watch movies. I EXPERIENCE them.

    I think it's only a matter of a few years before this gets scaled to become reachable for normal people. The same modular screen builds that make up the wall is the same base technology principles that are being used in Samsung's new LED cinema screens. It's obviously not coming next year or anything, but I could see them moving TVs of a wide range of sizes to consolidate production using this modular principle. It's also going to make maintenance and repairs wildly easier.

    Kids in grade school now will laugh at the thought of mounting a 50 inch plasma or LED TV as the main screen in the living room.

    How long do you think it will be before that happens?

    Meanwhile you can get that size and larger with a projector that will give you both 16:9 and 2.35:1 with the click of a button in that price range. I'm about to take the plunge now with the projector while I'm still not too old to enjoy it. lol

    Maybe/hopefully a couple years, given that you can get an 86" for around $2,500 now.

    We are on our second projector in the basement media room...a JVC DLA-HD250 we bought in 2011, I believe. We would use this room more if we had a TV in it. Plus, while the image quality is very good with no lights on, it just cant touch the contrast, brightness, and detail of a good TV.

    Our current screen size is 100", which is as big as we can go in this area. Looking forward to the day that I can hang a 100" panel where the screen is currently mounted.

    Stuff like this thread usually makes me think of François Ttruffaut's brilliant (IMO) 1966 movie version of Ray Bradbury's brilliant and chilling (IMO) novel, Fahrenheit 451. :(
