Tate,
Screens that are designed for daytime viewing are about a grand! If you get a high lumens projector to try to combat ambient light during the day it'll burn your retina's at night.

You may be better served by a 65" RPTV. I believe Hitachi still makes a 65" CRT RPTV that'll give a great smooth picture. The 57" version (57F710A) is $1614.99 this week at Circuit City. A froogle of the 65" (65f710a) shows $1789.95.

While DLP and LCD FP are easy and economical for a really big screen, nothing can beat a good CRT yet, and do you want to buy an extra $300 lamp if yours blows while you wait a week for service on a microdisplay TV?

If Goempel sees this thread he'll be all over the CRT RPTV ans while crass in his replies, he's right.

The DU-62SY20D? That would be about right. Its good to see LG's "larger" set finally start to approach respectable prices. 56" - 62" should get down to the $2200 range, anything smaller should drop "a whole lot". At that $2200 price point I would start to recommend them along with FPTV.

The 62SX4D .MRP is $3100
