[Update]
Just read that this projector will be selling for $10,000. Bummer.
[Update]
75 or 90 inches? How about 100!
I've written about wanting a big TV before and the good news is they keep getting bigger. The bad news of course is I still don't have any of them. The latest one isn't actually a TV. It's a projector from LG called the Hecto. Projectors have been around for a while and are know for creating big screens, but you usually need the projector to be a fairly good distance away from the screen in order to achieve that. The great thing about this one is that you only need 22 inches to create the 100-inch screen. The other bonus is that they include the screen along with the projector so you don't need to buy it separately. It offers Full HD 1080p resolution and 1,000,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio for using in dark or lighter environments. It doesn't really miss any inputs either. It has a an ATSC digital tuner for over-the-air HD, 3 HDMI, optical audio output as well as RS-232 interface.
Pew, pew, pew
The other cool thing about this projector is that it doesn't use a standard mercury-based bulb like previous projectors. Instead it uses a laser-based illumination system. LG claims this allows the projector to run for up to 25,000 hours without replacement, roughly five times longer than the mercury-based ones(plus more environmentally friendly). It's also what provides the high contrast ratio and brightness of the projected image. In addition to lasers the projector supports LG's Smart TV platform, which includes built-in Wi-Fi so you can watch Netflix, YouTube and other apps from their app store.
Home Theater Experience
I love going to the movies and have always wanted that same experience in my home. Having a 100-inch screen that's done by a projector would certainly bring me closer to that experience. I also already checked and my current entertainment bench sits about 22 inches away from the wall so this would totally work. It's suppose to come out in March and no specifics yet on price. My birthday is in March, hint, and this would be an awesome gift. Actually any product from this blog would be an excellent gift, I wouldn't want to limit any ones giving ability.

I'm actually really intrigued and excited about this product and looking forward to seeing what the price on this will be. What do you think?
