I'll add on to what Alex said: most of how people will use your projectors is for displaying text, or screenshots, which will require larger projected images than what most people use projectors for which is graphics or, say, movies. Therefore, an 8' diagonal image will seem huge, but not for seeing text, icons, and menus from the back row.
As for tv's vs. projectors...I'm on the fence and kind of agree w/ Caner. Maybe you can get 60-65" screens for 6-8 ppl at a decent cost, and forego the projectors...until the 70" screens come down in price. *JEROME CHANG* talk to us: (323) 330-9505 chat w/ us: BLANKSPACES.com/chat <http://www.BLANKSPACES.com/chat> *WEST: Santa Monica* | 1450 2nd St (@Broadway) *EAST: Downtown LA* | 529 S.
