So over the past few months I have been contemplating getting a RPTV. I am about ready to pull the trigger on the Sony SXRD 60A3000. My only concern is the vertical viewing angle. I have heard that projection TVs have a poor vertical viewing angle compared to Plasmas and LCDs. My living room situation is such that my TV can only be placed in a nook (plenty deep and wide for a 60 inch projection TV) about 4 feet off the ground. I am sitting about 10 feet away from where the TV would go. I currently have my 40 inch Samsung in this spot. I am looking at projection TVs to get more bang for my buck.

Any thoughts or experiences with SXRDs or other projection TVs, at this height? I might go with a smaller Plasma or LCD if people think that a projection TV isn’t a good idea at this height.

Thanks in advance
