it is possible. we already have small ones using devices like this: http://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/lord-of-the-rings-one-ring-mirage-holographic.
They use a parabolic mirror to project the image in the chamber. This is fine for small objects, but as size of the object increases, so must the size of the mirror.

Personally, I think the idea has merit, however holograms are dependent on focusing all points of light to the same spot. I don't see how pixel sized reflectors could do that, and furthermore reflect the light to a focal point more than a millimeter out from the TV. A hologram with a millimeter of depth just isn't noticeable when you're sitting across the room looking at a 50 inch TV.

I wish there was something like a holosuite :D
Saw a 'real' hologram once at an exhibition and it was amazing.
