Rather than a plasma screen, I went with a high-quality
projector (at 1/4th the price). Takes just about every input
(you'll just love MS Sim on a 6 foot wide display!) from the
computer as well as the DVD/TV/satellite/VCR. Inputs are
what you'll find on most systems these days...S-video, component or
the single F plug.

It's an InFocus, model is 2 years old, so I'm sure there are
newer/better/cheaper/whatever models out.

Best of all, it's a box the size of a large phone book, lightweight,
and I can carry it to meetings if I need it. Otherwise I keep it
mounted in the frame I built on the ceiling.

I haven't seen any projector setups I like, or that have the
resolution I want. I want someting I can view in broad daylight.

On the other hand, the plasma tv has much sharper definition. When I
zoom out the projector, the pixel density remains the same, but the
size of the pixels get bigger, so there's less sharpness.
