[QUOTE="chaiks, post: 256832, member: 278"] Ahhh... Home Theater enthusiast. Hmmm, where is ChanKL, and the chap I invited over my home for a HT tea session. Guess you've a budget planned. So my opinion: 1. Native wide screen (16:9) or full screen panel. For Astro, guess full screen will suffice. Not sure when they will go wide screen and/or digital. I only use my old wide screen Panasonic PT/AE100 for good action movies. I stick to my 48" Sony RPTV for tv & some movies. 2. LCD or DLP? I got LCD cos my eyes are sensitive to DLP effect & since I also got quite decent curtains. 3. Watch out for input connector type. Not in the market for projector, but new flat tv may not have S-Video for Astro connection. 4. Budget for video cables as well. Unless you don't plan to properly lay it now. Also, prepare to do 2 or 3 types. I started with Component & S-Video, ignoring the computer RGB type. What a mistake, as I've been using my own setup computer HT system for past 5 years. Have to look for a graphic card that support conversion using component output. I had numerous Pioneer DVD players laying around unused. 5. Screen. You may want to invest on a screen later. The black bar at the side also enhance the picture. I guess thats all. Good luck on your hunt, and enjoy. Cheers. [/QUOTE]
