OT - Plasma TV question

I would go with a projector, also, but would use a DLP (digital light

You want at least 2000 contrast, and 2500 lumens, I would think.


Um, okay. What's a "digital light processor"? And who makes these
projectors?

It is a MEMS device consisting of an array of millions of really small
mirrors that steer light onto or not onto each pixel on the scree. TI
makes the DLP chip, but lots of folks use their chips to make TVs and
projectors.


Any idea on cost? I hadn't even considered a projector, as they
always seem too dim.

You'll pay $5000 for a decent one and yes they are relatively dim as
compared to the flat panel TVs, either plasma or LCD.
