Hawkson,

I don't think that's very good advice. A plasma screen is definitely NOT the thing to buy right now. Any plasma screen worth spending money on (this is entirely subjectivce, I know) is definitely more expensive than the original poster's budget allows.

If you can control the ambient light levels in the room pretty well, I would consider a front projector. They are extremely easy to move and are much cheaper than existing large screen flat-panel technology.
