Yes, but I'll wait until the price comes down to replace my aging projector.
The price has come down from $80k in 2008 to $25k in 2012. Still a ways to go.

I think the 55'' Toshiba 4KTV (the one with glassless 3D) that is already in stores is way cheaper than $25k though - it's 7.6k€ in Germany.

Is that the Toshiba ZL2? It only does 720p 3D though for up to 9 people simultaneously, you have to stay in one of the sweet spots while watching of course. Not that I'm really interested in 3D anyway.

Although the 10k is probably just the projector, no clue how much the laser light source is going to be. The 'lamp' is supposedly separate and feeds the projector through a fibre optic cable. No noise if you put that in another room. Bit it might be different for the home version. Need more info :)

I'll wait to see what Panasonic has to offer, Their PT-AE1000U is still serving me well.
