Sofa looks a bit sharp round the edges too! Think i'd sit on the floor!

Go for an LCD projector with a short throw lens and a ceiling mounted pull down screen. Something like the panasonic ptAE200/300 will give a 83 inch diagonal screen at a distance of 10ft.

Should be a lot cheaper than a plasma

Just an idea

I have got a doors on the bottom right/left corners.

Moving the sofa will be a no-no.

We currently have a TV where the AV Equipment is.

if the fire is working??? have you done a temp test to see if its ok to place the screen above??

Just a thought

I have an old plasma in a room only 5 mtrs long. Avoid the whirring fan early models and go for it - richer sounds do a nice high res one for £2k so they are v cheap now for what you get, and you won't look back...

I had thought about the same setup in one of our rooms but abandoned it because the height of the screen (over the fire) in relation to lying on the sofa was a bit 'front row of the cinema'..so ended up keeping a CRT in the corner. Plasma is going out in the conservatory instead where there is a perfect spot
BTW seen the new 42" Hitachi? Getting rave reviews and less than £4k (make sure you see the new one and not the dodgy old Dixons one).

Will a 42" Plasma be too big for the following room?

Neil,

There is too much hassle with a projector and the lamps needs replacing every so often.

Is there a website with the panasonic LCD projector? I tried searching for it, but no results found.

Vinesh.....take a tape measure and go to Currys and re-arrange a sofa and 42 inch tv/plasma in store and judge it that way.
Thats what i did when choosing a tv a few years back(seriously).

Not yet. It will have a mantle peice to protect the heat rising to the plasma.

The wall does not get hot.

How can I do a temp test?

remember to get an analogue to digital convertor so TV pics are better. Saw one today at a client house (Sony's top model} made a big difference

Lady was telling me its the only one that is a true TV (Built in tuner)and not just a monitor..???
