Recently I have tried an HD Ready projector, I found that the best for
watching telly, films from computer or blue ray and playing games.
That gives around 150cm (~60") screen from maybe 160-165cm (63-65")
distance from the canvas. The feeling is awesome and the price is
definitely beats any similar size TV (I guess even plasma, and btw
they made or will make some ban against plasma here in Europe as far
as I know - oh yes, here it goes:

).

As with reading text I did not like that too much, even though it had
that 720p resolution. Maybe a Full-HD would be better? But I guess in
this manner it could not reach the same level as any LCD or LED
screen.
