Was at the Montreal audio show last weekend and while only about 15-20% of the show has a video focus, Sony did have something quite interesting (though prohibitively expensive, at 50,000$)--a very short throw (about 18-20 inches from the screen, on the floor) PJ that generated an astonishing 10ft wide and 5 ft or so high 4K image--with lasers as a light source (20,000 hrs estimated lifespan until luminosity begins to drop off, according to the rep--a far cry from 2000 hours to half luminosity as is rather frequent in bulbed projection systems).
If I won a lottery ticket, I'd be all over that sucker. As it is, I can only cross my fingers the rep was right about his view that the light engine would likely be available in a more traditional unit by 2017. If only I can make my current PJ last that long without having to replace another bulb.
