I had a projector that I got in 2007. Back when 1080p cost about $5000 so I got a 720p projector which even that cost about $1500 back then. I regretted it and sold it in 2009. Sure it was nice having a huge screen but I had to have several layers if thick courtains to keep the room dark enough and the lamp was only good for 2-3000 hours which if you game a lot is not much and it cost $300 bucks. ALso at 106 inches 720p was too low a resolution. That is not a problem these days when prices are lower but I still would rather get a big TV than deal with the pain of keeping the room dark again.
Maybe modern projectors don't need the room to be as dark. Keep in mind this was a decade ago.
