[QUOTE="GDive, post: 14984, member: 12802"] [b]I'm new here so go easy please...here's my 2p worth[/b] I have a 50 inch Pioneer PDP-504HDE and it is the best and most used gadget I own, and I'm very happy with it. I considered a TI DLP based projector but alas renting a flat doesn't exactly allow for installing the trim to hide the projector neatly.
