Well, I've made the first steps towards getting SAF on moving away from a RPTV and going to a bigger screen FPTV. Mostly by bring an old junky work projector home to try out, and we were both impressed by the picture this 5yr old 800x600 low contrast, low lumen projector put out onto a non-white wall (through a laptop no less, not even one of the nice PC's in the house). Mix that with seeing things like the Sony, Yamaha, Toshiba HT projectors in stores, I think I have her convinced on the benefits of having a big screen at home, and that the quality can be there if setup correctly.
Now the problem is how to integrate it into the room. Unfortunatly our room has a nice high 20+ft ceiling, which makes a ceiling mount pretty hard to do, so it will have to be anchored off the wall somehow. I have one wall that is free on the other side (for the most part), I was thinking of putting a little cubby hole in there and mounting the projector in there. But how are you guys setting up your audio equipment with a projector setup? I have no way of building that into a wall at all, so it's going to have to be in some type of audio rack, I'd like something that was maybe 3 "wide" and kind of low profile and just put it in front of the couch, under the screen, but it's hard to find something decent looking.
So basically any and all ideas are welcome, if you have or know of places that have pictures of projector setups in non-dedicated rooms, that would be great as well.
