The Room specs are 15 X 22 and the wall were my tv or projector will go is 13 ft wide and 7 ft tall. I need help finding options, I will require either a projector or flatscreen mountable with surround sound. If you guys could please provide me with help thanks alot

i dont really know i just need options i have and i can decide on which one according to price i guess coz i really dont know what a good budget is for this kind of thing XD
If I had a room your size specifically for a home theater here's the stuff I'd get: VIDEO Front Projector: Panasonic PT-AE900U 720p LCD with HDMI $1,750.00 http://www.projectorpeople.com/proj...id=20229&itmname=Panasonic PT-AE900U&sid=PCEL http://www.projectorcentral.com/panasonic_ae900.htm Screen: DaLite Cinema Contour 105" diagonal 16:9 (92"x52") High Contrast Gray $980 http://focusedtechnology.com/cinemacontour.html DVD Upconverting Player: Denon DVD-1930CI $350 http://www.crutchfield.com/S-hhecPq0mkN0/cgi-bin/ProdView.asp?g=54400&I=033DV1930C AUDIO Home Theater Receiver: Denon AVR-2807 $1099 http://www.crutchfield.com/S-hhecPq0mkN0/cgi-bin/ProdView.asp?wm=fp&I=033AV2807B&g=10420 Speakers: Energy Encore 1 & 2, Energy Encore 8 Subwoofer $1500 http://www.hometheaterhifi.com/volume_8_1/energy-encore-speakers-1-2001.html Add another $3K to 5K or so for wiring, cables and professional installation. Did I miss anything?
Professional installation can run into the thousands depending on whether the room is finished or not. It also depends on whether you have a front projector and screen or a flat panel to be mounted on a wall. A lot of labor is put into running in-wall cables. Some professionals will also do video and audio calibration. You can always get better and more expensive components but a 105" diagonal screen should do fine for your room size. If you can have good control of light in the room then a front projector is a great option.
Nope. I just upgraded to the 60 inch A2000 series Sony SXRD 1080p display. However, I'm seriously considering a front-projector setup with the Panasonic and a motorized drop down screen. I have similar room dimensions as CHEESEPIE. I have the above Energy speakers but an older model Denon (AVR-2105). My Denon doesn't have HDMI but does have component passthru/switching.
@eatsushi: I've seen the Panasonic PT-AE900U in action in my cousin's basement theater on a 110" screen. Excellent 720p picture with vivid colors, sharp details, and decent black levels. The lens shift feature makes it very versatile with respect to placement. He had HBO-HD and an upconverted DVD going. Personally, I'm waiting for the Sony Pearl PJ which is 1080p.
