As big-screen TVs become increasingly widespread, more and more people are discovering that a 40-inch or even a 50-inch screen still isn't big enough to turn watching a movie at home into a theater-like experience—even with a bag of popcorn. What you need is a substantially bigger image. For most of us, that's prohibitively expensive if you're looking at HDTV prices. Projectors, on the other hand, are a lot more cost-effective. Better yet, you can get an instant theater projector like the Epson MovieMate 72 ($1,099.99 direct), the high-end model of the newest generation of MovieMates.
