A few years back, an RPTV was a pretty decent investment...a good sized set for a moderate outlay of cash. Now, I am looking at front projection systems in today's market and I am astonished! For the price that I paid for my 47" widescreen just over 2 years ago, I could purchase an HT front projector and a 96" screen for LESS than I paid for my RPTV! I have seen a few of them in action (the Infocus X1 DLP projector and the Sanyo Z2 LCD projector) and was extremely impressed by their performance.

I am currently planning construction for my new HT (bought a new house that has yet to be built) and I will DEFINITELY be building it around the future purchase of a front projector system.
