Is anyone using a projector with their HTPC?

Talk about speakers, TVs, receivers, STBs, etc.

There are some high lumen led projectors out there now that make buying new bulbs
pretty much a non issue,but can be a bit expensive for a good one.
Wireless video transmitters are also an option to do away with the hdmi cable.
Don't know how well they work though.

The screen is rigid so everyone thinks its an actual TV. One issue is that the settings of my video card will revert the signal to 1080i at times, but I think that's the effect of the 40-50 foot HDMI cable were using. We do have a 20 foot Redmer cable from mono price we have yet to try since we moved the AVR closer to the projector.
This issue with resolution, 3D, and jitters were all solved with the new Redmer cable. Were using the 12gbps cable that's 40 foot long. We also run a 3 foot 18gbps Redmer cable between our HTPC and AVR being that cable handles both audio and video.
