Since were already off topic ...

This is me in Las Vegas last year at the 2006 Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in front of a 102 inch plasma display. Would that be big enough for ya!






Quite honestly, if I had the money for one... I would be watching it already

I do love the fact that my buddy's front projection system is 110". But at the same time, even with his 10,000 dollar projector, I'm not happy with the contrast ratios. I get yelled at all the time on AVSforum.com for how high I keep my contrast. It "does" burn up the TV faster... but blooming is not a problem on newer sets...

Out of curiosity.. how bad of a screen door affect does that thing have?

All my LCDs are in high sunlight portions of my home (master bedroom, living room, and kitchen) plus a 26" LCD in the bar area of my basement, where they all shine. The 70" SXRD is for the movie watching, so being that it's light controlled area with color-correct backlighting, the picture is phenomenal. Plasma may have a slightly higher contrast, but the color and sharpness of the SXRD blows the plasmas away. I looked at the Pioneer Elites and the Panasonics, but wasn't as happy with the picture.

It was an absolutely stunning HD picture. I don't remember seeing any screen door effect or any other artifacts.
