Most yacht interior-designers think if they slap a big-screen plasma / LCD in there they have sorted it out.
Well, any good home-cinema should use 3LCD or DLP projector (whatever the budget is). The Projector is one item, as important is the sound-quality. Most designers so far habe placed it in one of the lower decks, nice and close to the engine-room for maximum distortion
The sound-quality is directly related to the level of sound entering the room from the outside of the transmission of vibration of the structure to the floor and/or walls, ceilings. there are enough online-forums to help you out on this one, but the few MY's I've been one where a absolute laugh if it came to sound-quality. Just a 20.000$ screen and 5 inch speakers ???? What where they thinking ???
For day-to-day viewing on a yacht, I would definitly recommend plasma over LCD due to the higher contrast and more light being generated. On a yacht, you're most likely always going to be in the sun-light (direct or indirect) if you want to watch during day-time, so the highest contrast and light-emission should be your preferred choice if you do not want to "stare" at the TV instead of watching and enjoying it.
Don' hesitate to contact me for mor info on this.
