Texas Instruments is good. We used it to project from a TV onto the wall and watched world cup on it. Its very high definition. Its almost like having a 34in TV like experience on a wall.

Agree with ckiang on the "quality"of projection tvs.
My choice of TV (am looking to buy one around Christmas timeframe) would be either the Sony Wega or the Philips new range (PixelPlus?).
The Philips 29-incher (cost $1,999) looks really good, although the Wega sharpness is slightly better. The color on the Philips is much more natural, while we all know what kind of colors Sony prefer ;p
But having said, that I still prefer the DRC1250 mode on my current Wega for watching DVDs as it really makes the image very sharp and vibrant. Philips not quite there yet.
No opinion on the rest of the brands (Samsung, Tosh, Sharp, etc), but those brands have never caught my eye either in terms of pic quality or aesthetics/design, while the Philips/Sony have.
ahhh .... but you must compare with the Wega ES series which are made in Japan, not those that are assembled in Malaysia (which I believe were labelled XA series)Originally posted by ckiang
Hmm.... I find those Sony Wegas on display everywhere not fantastic. Some flickers, some has oversharpening, etc compared to the new PixelPlus TVs.

The tubes for the non-ES series are of lower quality and the overall construction is also not as good (more plastic).
The current AR series (unsure where they are made, most likely Malaysia as well) series seem to be an improvement over the XA, but still not as good as the ES series.
Can't seem to find the ES series info on sony.com.sg (Sony not bringing in any more?) but they are still widely available at the usual places.

I suggest you get a 34" or so flat screen TV. The Phillips PixelPlus series looks very good, as is some of the Toshiba ones.
