How big of a screen you should get depends on the size of your room and how far away you will be sitting. I am lucky enough to have a finished basement that I can darken, so I opted for a front projector/movie screen. 110 inches of glorious HD for about $3200 (already had the sound system). Installation was a snap. The Masters was incredible! And football is just unreal.
And for those of you talking about 1080, I am sitting about 13 feet from a 110" 720p image and cannot even see that resolution, so 1080 would do nothing for me. If your looking at a 50 or 60 inch TV, then don't get too carried away spending money on a "perfect" image - you won't be able to see it from across the room. Pay more attention to color quality and viewing angle. Sporting events are broadcast in 720p, which is what 720p was designed for - small things moving quickly. Movies are intented for 1080i, where there's not much movement in the image.
And about DLP, the color wheel on new/better projectors spins much faster now, so the rainbow effect is a thing of the past.
