I realise that some people feel the TV industry's recent obsession with super-sized TVs is misguided (What Hi-Fi?'s own Alastair Stephenson is one such person), but I'm not one of them. That's probably because I've got plans to one day turn my garage into a home cinema and a super-sized TV is more appealing to me than a projector.
It's not that I don't love projectors, because I do, but unless you spend huge amounts of money you're not going to get one that can do seriously deep blacks or make the most of bright HDR movies. There's the issue of movies in different aspect ratios looking odd against a projector screen, too, which can be overcome but not without quite a lot of extra expense and/or faff. I would also like to game in this hypothetical home cinema, and the vast majority of projectors have but a fraction of the gaming functionality of even a fairly entry-level TV.
