I think that a DLP projector may be a bit of a squeeze due to their lower flexibility in placement options. I would go for an LCD model. They are all pretty good right now. You have not mentioned your budget???? I use a Mitsubishi HC6800 and it is a fine projector. Great reviews and a very 'film like' image. Also check out the Panasonic PT-AE4000 which is another good one. If you are looking to use for TV viewing (and you can totally control light in the room) I would look for a projector with a low lamp setting. Mine will run for 4000 hrs, which makes it fairly cheap per hour. The BenQ W1000 is a very good DLP budget projector and if you have a throw distance of about 4.9 metres, you can expect to get a 16:9 screen size of about 115 to 120 inches which is in the sweet spot for that projector. The lens would need to be 4.5 metres from the screen. This would be about your best budget entry point. This is one DLP that may do the trick. Just make sure that you watch it first - some people can see a 'rainbow effect' with DLP projectors. Can be very annoying if you are one of them. Just remember to budget for a screen. Check out Selby Acoustics, who have a great range at not a lot of money. Coming from someone who has a 50 inch plasma, an LCD screen and also a projector, for big screen impact, there is no substitute for a projector. But, you must be able to control your room light levels.
