TV vs Projector - The Choice

People are confused when they have to buy a Television, whether they should go for a 32" LCD/LED screen or a projector which can project to any size. I was also confused at this stage and decided to carry on a research. Here are some pro's and con's of using projector.

Projector
Pro's
1. View at any size
2. Less strain on eyes
3. less costly compared to TV. Starts at Rs. 6,000 compared to TV which is at Rs. 20,000
Con's
1. Light in the room can make the image less clear - A dark room is needed for projector to project viewable video. 
2. Separate sound requirements - TV has both video and audio embedded. If you are going for a projector, you have to arrange a separate audio source also.
3. Dish set up box should have HDMI connector. You cannot use the same connector you use with TV on a projector. Only some set-up boxes come with the option.
4. Bulb life. The life of the projector bulb is less and you will have to replace it once in a year. With the coming of LED projectors, we can expect a longer life.

So, my opinion, give some more time for the technology to progress before you opt for a projector to replace TV.
