Front projection is by far the best bang for the buck when it comes to big screens. As long as you can control the light (most big tv's are in the basements so yes, you should be able to) it is perfect. 100" screen, good viewing angle, excellent quality picture, and cheaper solution than most other big tv's out there. You can get a great one for under $2000, and an amazing one for under $5000.
Also, there is a website, I'm having troubles remembering what it is (I'll edit this post with the site when I get to work) that is really informative on tv's. It has a great forum too.
