Given that this projector:1) 16:9 native2) Is 720p3) Can accept a full HD (1080p) signal and display it (only in 720p/1080i) This will be invaluable if in the future you want to display HD-DVD or Blu-Ray media without having to fork out for a new display device.I am currently using the Panasonic PT-AE900 (previous model) and have found it to be excellent. The problem I have now is that it will not display a full HD (1080p) signal :( I wish the AX-100 was around when I was buying.Get a decent screen! It makes a world of difference. If a screen is not within the budget then as mentioned, projection paint (screen goo) will give an improved result.As with all things... you get what you pay for.Here's a snap of my setup.Panasonic PT-AE900E, 120" Screen (16:9), Denon AVR-4306, Rotel RB-1080, Denon 2910, Bowers & Wilkins 604S3 x 2(Front) B&W LCR-600 x 1(centre) B&W 601 x 4 (surround), Velodyne SPL-1200 Subwoofer, Sonos multiroom audio, Xbox 360.

Only when the lamp is coming to the end of its life and needs to be replaced will you lose any picture quality←the actual LCD panel does suffer with age, being an organic based substrate it breaks down and contrast ratios and colour reproduction get worse ;http://www.projectorcentral.com/lcd_dlp_test.htmthe globe is a separate issue common to all PJ's unfortunately..

Put it on the home loan You'll be glad you did, I know I get lots of use from my theatre room. Worth every cent IMO. Glad you like the setup.
