I have been using a 720p Optoma HD70 DLP projector to watch DVDs and some HD channels. My set-up comprises of the projector, bunch of HDMI and component video cables, HD tuner from DishNetwork and a Panasonic Home Theater System. I project the 110'' screen image on my white wall that partions my kitchen and dining. See it yourself in the picture! The lamp life for this projector is 2000hrs and I have consumed about 900hrs in 18months. CircuitCity had offered a bulb warranty for 4 years for an extra $130. This covers the replacement of the bulb (one-time only) within those 4 years and is completely worth, as the bulb itself costs more than $300. On the whole, the choice of buying a projector over a Plasma/LCD HDTV was cost and space effective at that time. Now, the cost of 1080p HDTVs has come down drastically and the 1080p projectors are still pricey! There are other factors that need to be factored while choosing a home movie projector such as appropriate ambience lighting, lamp-life, lamp-intensity, contrast ratio to name a few.

The cost of LCDs are going down - and by 2010, one can get to buy 40inch plus LCDs with LED backlight at a very affordable cost.
With LED backlights, we can get faster refresh rates and the viewing angle increases thus increasing the picture quality.
Go LCDs!!!!
