projection televisions, home theater system

For some reason whenever I think of projection televisions, they remind me of the 80s.  I don't know why.  I mean, I know they're still around although the projection televisions of today are different than the ones in the 80s.  Of course when I think of projection televisions, I always think of the projectors that are ceiling mounted and project an image on a screen.  Much like a movie theater, or the projectors and screens at my church.  But googling just now I saw some sweet looking rear projector televisions.  The more I look at those, the more I'm thinking of going that route when I am finally at the point where I will be furnishing my own home theater. 

My brother-in-law has a wall mounted flat panel, and my oldest brother has a ginormous wide screen (pretty flat) that has a stand to set on a console or something.  But looking at the rear projection televisions, I'm thinking that's the way to go for me.  From what I've read, they are lighter than the wall units, and probably most other TVs out there.  Since it seems like I always do upgrades/changes to my own little home theater system by myself here, it will be nice to have something that I can move on my own.  Because it could take me months to get someone to come over to help, with everyone being so busy.
