Get a projector and get an Epson. I love mine (Epson Pro Cinema 9500). You won't regret it. I was in the same situation as you a few years ago. I went and checked out a projector in a setting similar to what my room would be like and within seconds my decision was made (it wasn't even the same brand as what I ended up getting - I just needed to see the technology in action).

If you haven't seen one in the past few years, do yourself a favour and go demo one. You no longer have to have a batcave for a decent picture. I can get near total darkness if I want a theatre effect while watching a movie, but it's nice not having to when it's more casual viewing (i.e. watching sports with friends).

I haven't seen any of the newer Epsons, but people are still amazed by my four-year old Epson when they come over. I'm sure they've come a long way since I got mine.

On a slightly different topic, if you're looking for seating, there are some great deals to be had on-line if you're ok buying chairs based on other people's reviews. I was nervous about buying recliners without sitting in them, but the deals were just too good to pass up and I'm incredibly happy with what I got.
