Hi TomI suggest you try to stick with your Sony 61". It took us 6 months to get a really crisp picture in some formats on our Barco set up (808S projector & VSE40 enhancer/switcher). The techos got the basic set up correct but it took heaps of fiddling to fine tune it. There are just so many different adjustments you can make, particularly if you have a doubler or quadrupler. Furthermore they had to be done for each different input (PAL TV, PAL LD, PAL DVD, NTSC LD, NTSC DVD). Our system gave maximum flexibility BUT..... you get the idea.
Some other negatives - care must be taken to break in the projector guns evenly or permanent lines develop on screen in some formats (voice of experience here), you must be able to darken the room effectively, they give out a lot of heat & has been mentioned by Robert, the fans (heaps of them wirring away) can be distracting.
After all of the above you might query if it was worth it. Yes it was but I might have been a little more cautious about jumping in if I had forseen what was ahead. I've had to compile a booklet to explain to my beloved how to operate it all - it is a complex system even with the 9 remotes replaced with a PRONTO!!!
Peace at AA
John
