"The marketplace right now is really an evolving one because for years it has just been tube televisions and rear projection TVs..that's really the only two choices that customers have had. Over the last couple of years, the improvements in plasma television and rear projection television getting a little bit larger... .that has been helpful to the market. But all of a sudden you have the viability of a projector that can make a gigantic screen that's way beyond what you could do with plasma or rear projection television and get a very good image as well."
Portability is also a plus... .you can take a projector anywhere...
"Right now one of the big problems with rear projection televisions is you get a bigger and bigger screen... but it becomes a 300 pound box that goes into your room."
With a 6 pound projector... you can have a 10 foot screen in your home theatre. The price is pretty big too... about five thousand dollars...for the ScreenPlay 110... that can display standard TV or DVD signals... is high definition compatible... and can hook up to the video output of a PC. One down side to consider... bulbs last many hours... but replacing them will cost you hundreds of dollars. Bloomberg Boot Camp, I'm Fred Fishkin.;
