Very OT.

I don't do too much hiking any more, but do ride my bicycle about 100 miles a week.

I used to go to CES in Vegas every year. About ten years ago they were demoing a $50k projection line tripler on a 10' X 10' screen. That blew me away. Even up close it looked great. At the time it took a room full of equipment to get the kind of picture you get on a high-end system today.

I have 2 wide screen TV's, but haven't taken the HDTV plunge yet although about everyone else in the family has. If I buy a HDTV I've got to do something with one of the wide screens. Problems, problems. Actually, I'm thinking about a projection system since we belong to NetFlix and I don't watch TV that much. The projection systems do look nice and have the larger format. Of course they have the bulb life problems and work best in a dark room, but that shouldn't be too much of a problem.

What kind of system do you have?

I used to work in the Warner Center so I'm familiar with the Best Buy there.
