DVD sound hardly compares to vinyl, but it is lightyears better than VHS. (Perhaps you were thinking of laser disc, which is an analog medium.) VHS quality is pretty poor, sonically and visually, unless you're watching a 19" TV. Given the size you intend to ptoject, VHS would be almost unwatchable IMO, without serious, very serious, scaling and upconversion. Even then, you'd still be trying to make a sow's ear into a silk purse.Sorry to tell you, but not only is DVD quality better, VHS is dying out. The best mastering and all the goodies are going onto DVD. Blockbuster is phasing VHS out of it stores. In fact, VHS isn't the LP of video, it's the 8 track tape.
Yes, you really, truly, madly deeply need a DVD player, maybe one of the Denons, or Pioneers. Not a cheapie, or you WILL be disappointed with the sound. Most people will be running their sound through a separate processor, BTW. I think for dialogue, you ought to experiment with a center channel, it might prove much better for movies.
You might also consider one of the 42" plasma TVs, like the Panasonic ED model. Less than $4K, and less than 4" thick.
