Don't get me wrong projecto
Don't get me wrong, if you can pull this off, i'd be the first to buy one and do this also.
But for as much cash i've already lost on this adventure, i wish I could have just bought the benq lcd(still not true color)
as far as crt projectors go, they are super heavy, difficult to setup
and after I researched this found there aren't very many that can do hi resolution
personally i'd rather try your idea than try the crt route(what happens when the thing breaks? you need to replace parts, good luck finding parts, or someone who can diagnose a faulty circuit on a crt, not to mention those things aren't very bright, they have one at my local pub, and it's cool that it's 10 foot wide, but the sun is a mortal enemy(probably not an issue in my basement though)
(I really love the overhead after getting a dukane 4003, don't need metal halide the fxl bulb is plenty bright-also my screen size is only 58inches(small by diy standards), with significant screen door, doesn't bother me at all)

ive got a new idea in making a new type of profestional screen with a nice gain, i was thinking in using perspex as its perfectly flat and smooth and mounting it in a frame after spraying the front of it with the snow spary u spay on your windows at christmas, its nice and white and translucent, its not like normal paint and spreads different however if this doesnt work good for a front projection system i personally think it could for a rear projection system with the screen turned around so thast the painted side is on the inside , also with this being on the inside and with this being perspex u get a nice glass like looking pro screen, if this would cause glare problems at this stage unknown but im going to try it soon, maybe it could be a cheap alternative to those who want to make a rear screen projection tv, anyway any input would be helpfull

P.S just to give u an idea how this stuff lights up, its like the phosforus in your tv but white and very eficient

IF which i higly doubt ne body is still reading or posting on this thread, those of you that got into the diy to make a better quality image than the one u could just buy (like me) listen up, if you got 36 computer monitor lcds each with a res of 1600 x 1200 and about 20 inches diagonal and took them out of there frames and put them all together like this so that there is no line in between

each star is one lcd, you would have a 120 inch (3:4) tv that has a resolution of 57,600 x 43,200, thast high def heaven, you could build a led blanket behind it, with many fresnels stacked behind it, and all of the wires and such behind all of that, would it be possible, wut would you need to make it work besides what i already mentioned, i mean would i need an ultra fast computer with as many video cards as lcds, i was just wondering if ne one could halp me out, and by the way ive been reading these forums for over 3 years now and this si my first time posting (by the way i dont care abou how much it costs, i care about quality) and i was wondering wut does btw mean, i understand all other shorthand terms, but to this day i still dont know what it means, well thanx

Projecto7,
Here are a couple of thoughts that you might consider.
First a possible but not really cheap solution to your quest. There is a company that sells 40-50 inch rear projection screens that are surplus from large rear projection televisions. They are not cheap. Around 100-200 USD. They are designed to enhance the picture when projected from the rear and can give exellent results. You could set up your existing projector to project a smaller image from behind and using a suitable LCD should get a better picture than the 27" HDTV you are talking about.
These are like large fresnels and some of them from the older televisions are but newer technologies have created special lenses that make rear projection televisions as good as CRT.
If you go look at the cheap HDTVs you find that they are only slightly better than regualr television but if you drive a high quality LCD panel from your computer you could have better than HDTV resolution.
Hezz
