You make good points, can you convince my wife too :)
I'm still going to wait a year until the dust settles on HDR, but you're absolutely right, about an extra $1000 for replacement lamps so far, $1200 for the screen (although that doesn't need to be replaced), $300 for custom made 20ft long hdmi and component cables (in 2007, all so much less now), custom extension brackets for hanging the thing. That all together would buy a very nice tv today.
Hopefully the Canadian dollar recovers a bit, that hurts buying expensive electronics. 86" LG is 10k here atm, Sony 850D 11.5k
Still, since I have all the extra stuff swapping out the projector should be easy.

Haha.... Well just don't think out loud before she hears you.

Damn you did sink a small fortune into all that tho i cant blame you cause i  kmow how much shit like that all cost back in 2007. 

Waiting for The HDR stuff to settle is probably a good idea, being that right now LG are the only ones that make TVs that supports both HDR formats (HDR10 and Dolby vision).  Waiting a year could also mean that when you are ready to jump in prices of 80"+ screens would be much much reasonable cause these blasted manufacturers are gonna have to run out of price jacking acronyms to slap on top the packaging box sooner or later. When that hapens all they can do is compete on price.
