1080P tv or Projector ???

My viewing habits are like Dave's. I now just use the projector weekends for movies;everythiong else on my Mits,65. ---Projectors just about demand,total darkness.

WARNING WILL ROBINSON!!......If you get the projector, you'll never go back to any kind of television set for watching movies again.

I watch a projector (123" screen) exclusively. It is ok with light in the room but great with darkened room. I only have two windows therefore it is easy to black out. I will never go back to a TV. Generally the projectors are cheaper, larger and have great picture quality. Mine is 1270x720 resolution. I may upgrade to higher resolution when blu rey or HD DVD is established and has more titles and when the price of the higher resolution machines come down in price. For current television I don't think you would see much difference with higher resolution. If I had a large amount of light coming into the room I might have a different perspective. See projectorcentral.com for much more information on the subject.

Have you viewed both? How does the projector resolution stack up? If the Yamaha picture compares well in real world viewing, and you have the proper room, go for it. I have seen spectacular projector image and also some not so hot, never seen the Yamaha so I cant comment. If the image is not in the same league as the TV you may end up regretting choosing the projector. 1080 RPTVs can produce beautiful image and 73" is big unless you have a lot of space. You may kick yourself wishing for the bigger experience, but then again you might end up unsatisfied with the contrast and resolution. View both and remember, size matters, but so does performance.

Disclaimer: Hi-Def TV looks great on my projector.

Standard-Def TV on my projector stinks.
