I find all this talk of +$10000 front projectors so interesting. Kind of like talking Ferrari vs. Lamborgini. I'm watching my dvd's through a Sony Cineza vps 20 (which has recently been superceded by the 51) and am very satisfied. I know it's only an lcd projector yet, for me it's the software that's the limitation not the projector. It's true that I'm not yet watching hdtv sources (Voom, here I come...soon.) but for current dvd's I'm content. Maybe I need to get my glasses perscription checked?!?

I think what Curegeorg is talking about is LCoS (Liquid Crystal on Silicon) it is a 3 chip technology already used in JVC commercial projectors and currently in their new D-ILA line of High Definition TV's. I did see a side by side comparison between the Samsung 50" DLP with a sing chip and the JVC 52" D-ILA with its 3 primary color chips. The JVC was brighter with more depth and warmth at virtually the same price and the reviews have been positive. I would assume that their commercial projectors may be in your $8 - $10K range, but I am not sure.

lcos is one option, yes.

lol, jvc does suck these days.
