Long story short, our basement flooded minorly, it's been flood cut and refinished/new drainage and we're going to make it a game/sports/bar area. 

I'm considering either a projector or a new TV for down there. I can get a 60" TV or larger for $500-800 depending on brand. I can get a HD projector for $400~ I'll be using a wireless sound bar system for either one. 

I love the idea of the projector and having a wall sized Jags game on there. The room has two overhead lights, one of which can be turned off to make the screen side of the room decently dark. 

Anyone with experience on both? In my price range I can get a TV that's going to have a better picture and color but smaller, or the much larger screen of the projector but a bit less clarity/color. Thoughts?
