I too would second that anytime, although if you go the modern PJ route it's probably a good idea to allow in your budget for the purchase of a decent video processor with a good comb filter, if this is not possible then maybe a top quality OLED is the way to go.

Like others suggested it depends on your budget and what you want as essentials.
If you go with the TV route, OLEDs are significantly better than others and significantly more expensive. The 65” versions are somewhat reasonably priced compared to a few years ago but the 77” models are still very expensive. Very last generation Panasonic and Pioneer plasmas would be my next choice if you don’t care for 4K. They will beat any LCD and CRT by a margin.
On the projector side, you can get a really nice used JVC projector if you don’t need 4K. Projectors drop value like a rock once a newer generation is out. What was used to be $15,000 JVC flagship 1080p projector is now barely $1,500. Sony also makes good projectors but can’t compete with JVC in black levels. If you do want a 4K projector then your options are very limited. They start at $4,000 but to be honest you need to get at least the $15,000+ laser models for decent light output in HDR. A good screen is also a must in any projector setup, ideally with masking. Screens hold their value well so even in the used market, it will be a few grand for a really good one.
If you must have at least 75” (which eliminates any plasma which caps at 65”) and you are on a budget then any name brand LCD will do. They have come to a point most of them have great picture (not counting shortcoming of the LCD technology).

JVC =D-ILA = LCoS, Sony = SXRD = LCoS, marketing names for the same thing. You need to provide budget and what else you will be doing with this display. If you really ask what is the best way to view laserdisc today without giving more details then I will tell you you need the Sony VPL-VW5000ES ($59,999) projector and the Stewart Director’s Choice ($39,999) screen in a light controlled room for the best Laserdisc viewing experience.

That made me laugh! To the OP, just get what you can afford and enjoy. Its laserdisc at the end of the day. You can only get so much out of it. I'm not sure even a $100k set-up would make an ld look any more like a blu ray or a well mastered anamorphic dvd.
