Sony SXRD Projector or SXRD 70" for home theater? - Blu-ray Forum

Definitely the projector.

But only on one condition. You can fully control the ambient light in the room and don't mind watching movies in the dark.

The projector you mention above will look horrible with the lights on and windows open.

However in a 100% dark room, the projector will blow the TV out of the water.

I totally agree with this post. Good quality Front projectors currently offer the best in picture quality that can run circles around rear projectors. Also with the Sony front projector you get a 15,000:1 contrast ratio and 1080P/24 input that refreshes at 96HZ. All current rear projector Sony SXRD have 10:000:1 contrast ratio with only a 1080P/60 input with 60HZ refresh.

Im not a hugh fan of projectors. I install mostly DLP, SXRD for HT setups. I feel that projectors arent good enough.

I prefer tv over projector. It's versatile for all your viewing needs...

No doubt what so ever, Projector. I'd make the whole damn wall the screen if i were you =)

Don't let anyone tell you that projectors aren't good. I've had mine for over a year now and all I have to say is that I don't like watching movies any other way now. All other screen just seem too small. Plus I've read some very good reviews of the one you're planning on getting. Go with the projector, you won't regret it.
