Rage... your just living a bachelor lifestyle eh? lol
You could go with the 103" Panasonic plasma and that's about 80K or so. And then there's the problem of getting it into your house... you'll need like 6 guys to carry that thing.
Or there are those 71" DLP's which are crap cause you have to buy a bulb every 1.5 years or soo... but I don't think they make them anymore except for Samsung.
And my last solution is getting a nice expensive projector! But of course picture quality isn't going to be as nice. And as for the HDMI issue the less connections and breaks in the wiring the better!
Just get a 30FT HDMI cable or something lol...and they do make them that long if not even longer like up to 60ft?
I'd go with commerical applications even though its more expensive but you'll experience that its probably the best!
Like for example the commerical plasma's are all touch screens used in Malls such as Southcenter, Market Mall, and West Ed. And the functions are A LOT different too but I'd do a lot of reasearch first before investing big bucks into commerical models.
