I own a 42" tv, I want a 60", when I bring this up to the wife she usually just asks "why". I asked myself if I knew any females that have bought large screen tvs for themselves and I could not think of any.

Small TVs have been virtually removed from the market. I wanted to get a TV for the kitchen recently and 19" was as small as I could find, which is almost as amazing as the fact that it only cost $60. BTW, where the hell are the pocket HDTVs?
For main viewing I have two 34". A Bravia LCD and a wide Sony HDCRT. Quality is more important than anything and honestly I seriously just don't have room for some of these billboard sized displays and proper speaker placement at the same time and I think they looks absolutely stupid in a living room, like some dude building a canoe in his bedroom. I had a real theater, sure, no problem, but I haven't built it yet.

Well to jump onto a sony battle Sony CRT projectors are alright and will give a nice image, i don't own one as i don't have the space but i've read a lot about them. If you are on a budget then they are nice to have. So getting a poor image from a projector is just not true. I have a DLP and i'm happy with it.

It's true, it's true!...... couldn't help myself, my 42" plasma does use a lot of electricity, 450 watts, makes a good space heater in the winter, not so good during the long hot Florida summers, which now last about nine months. I think the lcds an oleds use a lot less electricity . I'm looking forward to the wall sized tv like the one in Back to the Future Two.
