I have a projector...a relatively cheap one, at that. I got it 2 years ago for $350 and have been loving it. I can watch a movie in a room that has full sunlight shining into the windows and I can still see everything with no problem. Plus, I can take it to friends' houses and have outdoor movie events and the like with ease. As for the projection screen, you can get a good 100" screen for less than $100. So, that's not even a big deal. Mind you, I'm no videophile. I just enjoy watching a movie every now and then. I did have to get some speakers, but that wasn't a big deal either. All total (projector, screen, and speakers), I spent less than $1000. I have been recommending this setup to all my friends and they have had the same response as me. Good all around.
