Set it up as if it was ceiling mounted but actually on a support over you head (maybe on the back of the chair)? (caution it could get hot)

What are the dimensions to your area? Have you considered a first surface mirror to bounce off and increase your throw distance?
I have an 8x10 (foot) room for my proj. set up and use a mirror to increase the throw works very well. But then again I have a ceiling mount too and you mention thats out of the question. Just throwing some ideas out there.
I've got a bad feeling about this.....

Really, Why is that? Just curious as to your reasoning....
I run both, triple 40" LED and Triple 60" plasma..... Led runs cooler and need less power than the plasma view quality on the latest LED is almost (If not equal in some cases) the same as a plasma, led costs less. If you are using triple plasma you can enjoy it in the winter but you will need ac in summer.

cannot take for granted that vendors aren't thieves here but here you can buy a 52" top notch LED for 200€ cheaper that the equivalent plasma (same production period older plasma are often cheaper even if they are good), black levels are good (but in this case you are right plasma is still better) picture quality (taking for granted that one knows how to set them) on good leds is at least in par with latest plasma Iv'e seen . Power consumption is better on LEDs (should make the cheaper in the long run). For sure seeing a lot of untweaked TV (both plasma and LED/LCD)in the store does not help in judging picture quality. I think i will miss the old CRT technology for the rest of my life.

I was looking into the short throw projectors and it seems like it would have to be placed 2ft or so away from the screen to acheive the 40" picture area im trying to get. at this distance the pj would be right infront of me.
Another option I was thinking about was a pocket projector...Vivitec q2. If this were to be mounted behind my chair like on a pedistal above head level would this work or do I still have to worry about shadows?

Even on CRT unless you leave a fixed image for hours or days burn inwould not set in, plasma are less prone to develop burnin than crt. @ wedge i tried an acer c20 pocket projector but results didn't satisfy me (but is cool if you want to watch movies while you are camping)
