A 135/150 inch TV is impractical in all ways thinkable. Unless display technology improves to give us a 1-2 mm thick panel, it is not movable once setup. You can't take it outside on a fun day for that back yard party or make it the pillion rider on your motorcycle for that get together at your friend's place.
A 150 inch TV if setup on the wall, adds a lot of load on the wall studs/joists, and even more so when you have subwoofers shaking your room. Setting up such a huge TV properly, without structural damage in the long run can be expensive.
If the TV ever needs repair, you have to invite the technician into the comfort of your theater room, and 2 more people to take it off the wall When TV dies one day, you will have to pay to get it off your wall and out of your home.
A DLP projector from a reputed manufacturer almost always fails from a dying bulb, color wheel, a fan and or thermal sensor-all three can be easily replaced by an average DIYer. Been there, done that, so I know what I am talking about. Good luck troubleshooting your 150 inch TV, as the number of components are much more, movability and disassembly are much harder.
When I feel like going to the theater, I buy the 4K disc off of amazon for $20 (unlimited watch for the whole family), make our own pop corn and sink into our recliners. Think not missing theater visits, when you still have that 98 inch TV. In last 3 years, the only movie I watched at a theater is avatar, way of the water for the IMAX and bigger screen experience, thanks to my DIY home setup.
Andrew Robinson and many other A/V enthusiasts might think otherwise, but once you've used a projector it is only practical to assume that projectors are here to stay.
You clearly have no idea what you are talking about. This is known by everyone in the industry that this is the projector to beat under $5000
Multiple independent shoot outs, nearly every publication documents this.

The JVC is $5k
and the Sony is even more.
So no, not even close unless $2k+ is close to you.

Andrew Robinson and many other A/V enthusiasts might think otherwise, but once you've used a projector it is only practical to assume that projectors are here to stay.I have enjoyed this machine as my dedicated full use TV / Movie and Gaming source.
I put a lot of hours each day on this machine and it works flawless.... the only draw back to EPSON projectors is their light bulbs are very very very expensive to replace and I been avg. about 6 month use at 6 hours of use per day before Bulb replacement is needed.
Depending on where you buy the bulb.... you could spend 80.00 used or 300.00 new.
That's the only complaint.

I use a 20ft extended HDMI 2.1 chord and run it from projector along about 3feet of ceiling down the wall and plug it into my AVR > receiver which is place on a book shelf about 4ft off the floor.
The chord can be velcro, glued or taped to the ceiling and wall to keep it from dangling.
Some who have the money or pre-plan before home is built will bury the chords behind the dry wall. and have it poke out the wall where it will be connected.
