DLP Projection - DVDfile.com forum for DVD, Blu-Ray, and HD-DVD

I was going to go for Pioneer's gorgeous 50" Plasma screen for a viewing screen, but after painting a comparable shape on my wall to gauge how it's going to look, it's just not big enough!

So, I'm going for a projection system, but after seeing a friend's LCD projector was left pretty unimpressed. Recently I stopped by a store for a demo of Yamaha's latest next generation of DLP projectors, I think it was the VX-1, or close to that. Not even out in Europe yet and it's already won quite a few awards!

I was wondering if anyone had experience of using and maintaining these projectors? Roughly how long do the bulbs last, etc?

The quality was quite simply staggering. It has a built in line doubler that smoothes out the images, and it's a third cheaper than the Pioneer Plasma. I want one! I just need to know the potential pitfalls...

Also, I'm running DVDs and LDs from a Pioneer 919 and am thinking of going the whole hog and upgrading my ProLogic surround to full 5.1/DTS. Anyone reccomment a good amp and speaker set-up that can deal with all this - not forgetting RF-AC3 for the LDs?

Thanx!
