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 plasma is obsolete.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.

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?

plasma is obsolete??!!

But dunno why he want to shoot me like that 

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?

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.

no one is talking about projectors in the forum as much anymore because all those that been inquiring for ages have gotten one for themselves already

But dunno why he want to shoot me like that 

yeah, id say plasma is goign obsolete. even toshibapioneer has stopped producing their wonderful kuro plasma TVs

explain why plasma is not obsolete when both mainstream and specialized tv manufacturers have stopped producing them.

So did you mean that Panasonic and Samsung are not mainstream and specialized TV manufactures? 

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.

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.
