Have we been blinded by the big TV?

I'm rather confused about a trend (or lack of to be specific) in the consumer electronics universe regarding big screen video. It occurs to me, but apparently not to many others, that it makes more sense to buy a good quality video projector instead of a big screen TV. Why? Flexibility for one thing. A big screen TV is an unwieldy behemoth of a device that often doesn't produce a great image at every angle, uses a lot of space (permanently), and forces you to sit way back if you want to keep eyestrain to a minimum.

A projector on the other hand, is small (You can bring it to the cottage! Or a friend's house!), can be set up any distance you want from the screen, the image can be seen from many angles. If you need a big picture, such as having the gang over to watch the game, you back the thing away from the screen and create a huge picture. But if you only want to watch a nice, crisp, clear, intimate movie with your sweetie, you can bring it close to the screen for a sharp, smaller (yet still pretty big) picture.

Logically, the projector is the better option, yet these giant-ass TVs sell like hotca..... err..... big screen TVs. Maybe some day the consumer will get it.
