1. big crt monitor; used market is flooded; best displays ON EARTH, period.
2. projector: 480p ones are $500 easily, and 720p down towards $800
best of the small; best of the big; perfect setup, that i use myself; have 21" sony trinitron and infocus 4805 projector; in my mind it's just the best of all worlds; you get the really big screen for films, certain games etc.; and the great detailed monitor for PC work of course, and high-rez games (for my competitive FPS'ers especially) and any time you can't light control for you pj
IMHO, screw the middle ground; after a 92" screen, no 50-60 whatever is a "big screen" anymore; the price is right for both these types of displays, the crt monitor since everyone and their mother thinks LCD is the second coming, and the PJ since they are not heavily marketed or accepted
have monitor hooked up to vid card's vga out, and pj up to DVI, can't beat it, no way; will probably upgrade to 720p at some point; and the g520p monitor will go with me to the grave...........mine or it's, whatever comes first :)
go do it!
