Prices of Very Large Flat TVs are Falling Fast

They do have acoustically transparent projector screens. You could probably get a 100 inch or a bit more in a roll down screen in your space.

They also have UST projectors Ultra Short Throw. These use lasers and sit right at the base of the screen while projecting pictures up to about 150 inch size. That way you don't need a ceiling mounted or out in the room projector in the way. Prices of those are a bit more and needs a special screen which is more, but those are also getting cheaper.

Henry Kloss would be proud.
It's almost lost to the background noise of history (or maybe it's the microwave background from the Big Bang), but ol' 'enery started Advent, selling (presumably) fairly high-margin sealed monkey coffin loudspeakers to generate some working capital and brand cred so that he could produce and market a projection TV system. My recollection it was designed to be pretty short-throw, but the internet's not really backing me up (so far). :facepalm:

EDIT: Sorry, one more -- this is too good to leave out. :)

I reckon the anode voltage on those projection tubes is pretty smokin'. :eek:

Every one of those 100" cheapovisions are the wrong aspect ratio. And once you see a $55,000 MIP 1200 nit 105" xdr the believability of the colors is at another level.

Unfortunately I will need to wait until the prices drop enough that unit has the price move the decimal over one digit left.
 
I still vividly remember a BS session with my friend Mike back in the CRT days on how kool it would be to someday have a TV you
could hang on the wall like a picture frame. Even then we never envisioned being able to buy these huge screens at pocket change money.
For both audio and video home entertainment these really are the golden years.
I wonder what the future will bring in another 10-25 years ?
At least for me, the times of daydreaming is over. I can't wishfully dream of anything we don't already have in these lines of tech?
