Actually, it's too bad you got the new TV already.
I had a suggestion all lined up, it's the setup I'll be doing for us in the spring: InFocus Screenplay SP5000 projector (720p/1080i native), pull-down screen, ceiling mount. The cost actually comes in at a tad over $2000 IIRC, and it blows away anything else you can throw at it.
SVT Dean actually has this exact same setup.
To be honest, I wasn't sold on projectors or InFocus till I did the following thing last February:
Took an InFocus LP230 to the Inco Cavern at Science North in Sudbury when our company's president made a presentation to the Ontario Mining Association. Set it up, fired up the laptop, tested the display @ 1024x768... the projected image was over 120" wide and crystal clear. EVERYTHING looked as it should have on the 15.4" LCD display on the laptop.
I was stunned. Sara got to see this presentation as well. No wonder she completely supports the projector-at-home idea.
