The price of Plasma Display Panel and Liquid Crystal Display has been going down pretty fast since a year ago. More and more Full HD displays are out in the market for as low as RM3000 (32" to 40") or less.
For movie and home theater hobbist out there, PLEASE THINK TWICE before you put your hands on those Plasma and LCD. I strongly ask you fellows out there to consider getting a projector if you are planning to upgrade your TV to plasma/lcd.
I am not saying not to get Plasma or LCD. What I am trying to say is to recommend fellow home theater people to consider getting a projector rather than upgrading to LCD or Plasma. 
Some people are saying projector lamp is too expensive when needed to replace after 3000 hours or so. Well, I am asking people who is building a home theater to get a Projector. If you are still Astro or TV1,2,3 person, I suggest you stick to the old big box tv or get yourself a cheap plasma tv if you are not planning to watch Full HD movies.
Why spend RM7000 ++ for a 200hz 40" LCD where you can get a 80" projector screen + HD ready projector (1080p upscaler) for less than RM4000. You save RM3000 where you can buy 3 - 4 lamps that gives you up to 10,000 - 12,000 hours more. If you are watching 1 movie per day (2 hours average), your 3000 lamp hours projector can last for 4 years (3000 / 720 hrs per yr). But Most importantly is the THRILL you are experiencing when watching a 40" Full HD LCD vs a 80" HD Ready projector. No matter how crisp or clear your full HD LCD is, you will never get the WOW FEELING when watching movie.
Some of you might be saying ...I can go for a 70" Full HD LCD and get the same feeling ..but 70" Full HD LCD will cost at least 10 times more than a 40" ...around RM70,000 + perhaps? With this kind of money, I can build you a dedicated home AV room fully equiped with RM30K power amp with THX Ultra2 + great 7.1 speakers. Plus another RM20K more, I can get you a FULL HD Capable Projector + 120" Full HD screen that is gurantteed to beat any full HD LCD or Plasma out there. But the most important thing is still the WOW and Thrill from big wide screen and good sound system.
Some of the pictures taken from a simple projection setup. Include a HDMI Projector that costs less than RM3000. Projector screen is custom made Fixed screen 73.5" 16:9 size. 5 
meters HDMI cable. A little help from the upscaler engine found in the Marantz SR5003 AV Receiver. Player is 1080P Network Media Tank with 1TB Hard Drive running Bluray "Open Season" as shown in screen shots.
So, please think twice before upgrading your TV or lcd/plasma. Need further advice or enquiries, please stop by my shop to discuss on your ideal home theater setup.
