Epson PowerLite S1+ as a television projector?

For this unit I have several bulbs, touted as having a 2000 hour life.

1400 lumens, works well with computer showing DVD. Native resolution is
800x600 with intelligent resizing to 1024/768. Spec includes 480i, 480p,
720p, and 1080i. Aspect ratio is selectable at 4:3 or 16:9. It seems
quiet, too (but to me, everything does!).

I'm thinking of using this as a television projector in our bedroom,
where it'll be used in low light conditions. Is there any reason why
that wouldn't be practical?

Thanks, gurus!

What on Earth do you need big-screen TV for in a bedroom?

OK.  Sorry I asked.  Can I have a copy of the tape?  :-)

Our master bedroom is about 30' from the headboard to the wall against
which the unit will project-- it's quite a large room, with a seating
area, too.
