Thanks for the info!
I've gone to the far end of energy conservation for movie watching and have a 15 watt micro projector (Aaxa p2) and I could leave it on 24/7 and still be under the 180kwh per year!
I normally project a 6 foot image on to a white pull down window shade, the projector is smaller then two sticks of butter and mounts on a camera tripod, when not in use it's behind the couch.
It has two draw backs, first one is that it has a cooling fan, so there is a hum, you get used to it but I wish it wasn't there as it makes it hard to turn the volume of what you are watching down.
2nd draw back is that you need to dim the lights or turn them off to get good image quality.
I have no plans tho to get a standard TV at any point, I like the free space, my couch faces a window instead of a TV and it requires 20 seconds of setup so it requires thought instead of sitting down and pressing a button.
