I watch movies including the latest offerings from our friends Harmy and Puggo and others in our living room on my ceiling mounted Optoma HD200x full hd 1080p dlp front projector projecting onto a 110" Drapa luma manual pull down 16:9 screen which sits approx 4m from our sofa.

The picture is fed from either my Compaq Presario cq61 laptop (hdmi) or my Panasonic dmp-bd35 blu ray player (best for blu ray/avchd) and for standard def dvd i upscale with my Panasonic dmr-ez27 dvd player which upscaling abilities are better than the blu ray player, all traveling up a 1.4 hdmi cable to the projector.

My sound comes digitally from my players via an optical cable into a Panasonic sa-xr25 fully digital 6.1 DD EX, DTS ES surround amp which gives out 50w per channel into wharfdale cube speakers and an Eltax atomic 8 100w powered subwoofer which sits to the left of the sofa. We watch regular tv on a Panasonic 37" viera plasma.

All my stuff is bought over time from fleabay. I regularly change my set up when finances allow.

For me front projectors are the only way to truly watch a movie.
