Thinking about going large :-) - Blu-ray Forum

Here's the story. I first bought a Panasonic 50G20. Had some minor issues with it so decided to bring it back. Second plan was to buy a used Pioneer Kuro LX5090. I found one but the fact I don't have warranty left on it is making me reconsider the whole thing. Now my last option is to buy a decent projector. After seeing a couple of threads over here and seeing what can be achieved,it really got my juices flowing

.

I have a dedicated room that can be made pitch black.My budget is around 3K (for projector and screen). A guy who runs a respected home-cinema company over here recommended me the Epson TW5500.I will also be able to have a demonstration of it in his showroom.Does anyone have this projector? And if so,what is your take on it?

This will be my first home-cinema involved purchase but I want it to be very solid from the beginning,since I have compulsive issues about changing my mind every ten seconds (as you can read above). Will my budget grant me an overall performance competing with a high-end plasma?

Why do most movie fanatics prefer plasma vs lcd but on the other end prefer projector vs plasma in some cases?Can anyone explain this? If anyone can forgive me for this bordering-to-insanity-rant and take the time to take this through with me it would be much appreciated

.

Ps: If my grammar and overall sentence structure is a bit off,please keep in mind i'm from Belgium and doing the best I can to express myself..
