OT - Plasma TV question

I would go with a projector, also, but would use a DLP (digital light
processor) driven projector.

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?

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

For presentation use the flat-panel TVs I've seen are too small; the
slides are developed with the idea of showing them on a projector.
Also the developer (yeah, including me) always ends up using smaller
fonts than they really should on at least a few of the slides, where
things weren't fitting otherwise.

How bright "bright enough" is depends on how well the room can be
darkened, remember.

A number of companies make projectors using the "DLP" technology;
they're often labeled on the projector. They tend to be brighter than
other technologies in the price-range, from what I've seen. (It's a
really clever idea, a chip with a bunch of really tiny mirrors that it
can tilt.)
