No - Simple as that. Projector TVs are fucking GASH. If you don't listen to me you will wish you had.

TV's > projector
Athough they are nice to have laying around, but I'd still buy a TV first.

the stuff that sucks about a projector is the power up time, its not instant as with a tv takes about a min to power up. other than that I like my projector.
Although I only use it to watch dvd's

If you want to create a genuine cinema, you're going to need to spend at least £17k on a projector.
If not, Epson TW2000 or Optoma projectors are good. Just make sure they have a big max' resolution and as a high a contrast ratio as possible, and at least 2000 lumens.
Whatever you do, don't go on the cheap with a projector...

There's a word that sums up this sort of behaviour, and that word is 'reject.'
