it's th trend nowadays to go for the slim tvs over projector. this is just a trend, whatever u want to use is up to u. and projector is not obsolete. plasma is obsolete.

some people need holes drilled into their heads...

anyway, the lowew cost of LCD screen nowadays comapred to years ago make it a suitable replacement for projectors especially when the owners do not have much need for anything bigger than 60" or do not want to deal with cumbersome, short-lived, and expensive projector lamps.

Nothing wrong in opening a thread like this and this does not prove that TS is not hardworking. Perhaps he wanted to surver the market before he can purchase it.

I was actually quite interested to buy projector. Last time I read a lot from this forum. But now when I really want to get it,
the hoohaa died down and I wonder if I should buy a projector since the market is small, the spare parts will be hard to get.

But dunno why he want to shoot me like that icon_question.gif

Then I think you should have worded your question differently.

The projector market will always be much smaller compared to TVs. I think some of the reasons have already been explained above.

If you want a projector, then be clear about its advantages and disadvantages. If you wanna know if spare parts are hard to get, ask about that. Instead you ask about if projector not suitable for HT?

Projector is not obsolete.  It needs a room with controllable ambient light to perform at its best. Hence, not many ppl could have the luxury of a dedicated room for projector. Some transformed their living halls to accommodate the projector by using black-out curtains.

A good projector can really output very high PQ. Moreover, projector has becomes more affordable in recent years, which is good for consumers.

Once you go the projector path, there will be no turning back. Like geforce1999, 60" is indeed very small if you ask someone with a projector. I have seen many projectors setup. Average size is 92" - 106".

dirtrun, congrats on the new JVC baby! There is a unit on demo in HN, Ikano. Very good PQ for the price. How much that you paid for?

100% agree! +1

hmpp....i think its dariofoo who is shooting you ....

anyway, if you have the space, nothing beats a projector. I have a panny AX100 project. Although its only a 720p, but the pleasure that you are getting from a projector is totally different from any LCD or plasma. With the right lighting and screen, the image is spectacular.

For me, my KL condo due to space constraint, i choose an LCD over a projector but if you have a dedicated HT room with the right condition for projector then nothing beats a full size projector image.

*remember to put aside your budget for a good screen.

The less talked bout is also due to the fact that most of us are "Audiophile" and less of "Videophile"

3D projector already available few years ago during 720p days. Not many ppl get projector because not many ppl have the money for a dedicated av room. Projector is only a small part of the setup cost. There's no way you can get 100-150 inch full hd screen from an LCD. Size does matter and even 65in is considered puny compared to projector.

How many unit they out for Plasma compare with LCD/LED? LCD/LED keep improving and now everyone talk about Green (important for earth), Plasma is power consumption and heat.

Even the mainstream Panasonic which considere big brother on Plasma also start invest on LCD/LED.

i have an cheap lo-res projector and LCDs.
watching a movie or concert on projector is a whole diff experience, love it.
unfortunately, the 1080p proj are very costly still, bulb costly for the hrs.
if the price come down enough, i will surely get one of them.
more so if one has a big enough room for it.
proj definitely for the ones who know how to enjoy a good video!

lcd/plasma is convenient and good enough for small av rooms, normal living rooms.
esp when you do a mix of astro, ntv7, pasar malams dvds.
waste of money to do proj for such purposes.

Few months ago, I read this article regarding US's Q3 growth rate for Plasma vs. LCD.

Q3 Plasma Growth Rate Tops LCD TV
