We have some 60" Sharp TVs at work and the picture is shocking. A decent projector would give a much better picture.

I can't comment on the models you've listed though, maybe they are better but I'd definitely see them in the flesh before spending 2k on one.

For £2k you can get a decent projector. I've seen that Sharp screen too and it's not the quality you would want when spending that amount of money.

If you go down the route of a large LCD / LED backlit TV, you need to spend quite a lot to have picture quality that is worthwhile. As noted above, the Sharp sets, as big as they might be, aren't wonderful looking when it comes to image. Issues with PQ become more apparent the bigger you go, so it depends if you want a big TV just for a big image, or a high quality image.

VFM would be to go the projector route, but factor in that your room environment will affect image quality. Screens are available that help deal with ambient light issues.

For a large screen LCD / LED backlit TV, you'd be spending upwards of £7k before you get into the TV's with good PQ. Also worth noting that if you get into the 80"+ diagonal zone, 4K / UltraHD becomes a more worthwhile prospect also
