I was thinking of putting a plasma or LCS screen over a fireplace with a gas fire - would the heat from the fire affect the screen? There would be a mantlepiece.

But is about the same as an aga, which heats the whole house at this time of year...and a 30 sq meter kitchen in winter...
I think you will find it a race: There is better flat screen technology than LCD - and cheaper - in the pipleine. Estimated 5 years to market.
Mmm. Not necessarily. Polyemers haven't yet got the full color and full lifetime.
I notice the television companies can't even manage to keep the two in sync always nowadays anyway.
Seconded, apart from the noise of the cooling fan
A limitation
Er yes
Mine has correction for this
Not too bad
Give me a 6' [1] picture when it's a film or whatever
For run of the mill stuff, yeah I watch the 32" in the corner
[1] - limited by the size of the room
Several frames - 1/8th of a second, I can handle that
There's some stuff coming (one day) from Cambridge that will change your mind. Certainly haven't got round to extending lifetime yet but colour is remarkable.
Oh gawd, most people will spot at poor lip sync at 1 frame out and think something is "odd", 2 frames is obvious and fairly easy to tell if the pictures are late or early. 3 frames is terrible and most off putting.
There is an inverse relationship between temperature and reliability in all electronics so yes - it would affect the lifespan. Additionally dust particles swept up by the rising air would adhere to the screen.
Even that's basically a lie. You're going to get only a contrast of a few hundred at most in most houses, as the light will reflect off the walls.
15000:1 is only going to be achieved if your walls are decorated in razor-blade chiq.
I know and it's a right PITA, not helped by digital broadcast boxes that throw a wobbly and can't output the pictures in sync with the sound. I simply can't bear to watch something that is more than 2 frames out. I find it quite amazing that sync can vary within in a prerecorded programme as well, that should be a far easier to spot and correct than a live one. With live the path the picture takes can vary greatly with in the orginating studio/OB and in these days of digits can have varying amounts of delay added to it.
The trouble is the sound is early - which just doesn't happen in nature. Slightly late is less of a problem.
They never wiil. CDT is dead in the water. Better materials exxist already.

As mentioned elsewhere, you'll get a cricked neck looking at it up there.
You'll just have to sit further away :-)

CDT was an earlier spin-off from the Uni.
What light? I said "no ambient lighting" no picture from the projecter you can't see your hand at all, not if when it touches your nose. ie real dark, something that most people have never really experienced these days. With light pollution, street lights, maintained emergancy lights etc etc.
That's a little different as the lips probably aren't making the right shapes for the noises you are hearing but I can see that it might make sync errors more acceptable to your brain.
Think thats was me... B-) A channel change should bring an errant digi TV box back into line.
Sadly I have a feeling you might be right. B-(
