Projector question

Projectors can be had with screens for less then $2500 that will blow you away. There is no substitute for a huge image, 70in is like a postage stamp compared to what you can do with projector. So you buy a bulb every couple years, so?

Probably either will thrill you but LCD is more likely in your budget. Many swear by LCD, many others prefer DLP.
Used may be of benefit to you, Panasonic 4000 is $2000 new but used well within your budget. Its good advice to join AVSforum.com. I am a member there too. They offer more video info than over here where its more audio obviously. If you want any ideas email me. Cheers

I still dont get those not informed enough these days to know projectors and even more to advise on them. It can cost far less for a pro and screen compared to larger wall displays, just remember nobody ever says "I wish I had gone with a smaller screen". There are few reasons that a projector is a absolute no go, and it certainly is no longer cost.

The thing is that once its set up the motor zoom and shift mean nothing so itsaves a few steps? Big deal! I had a manual and now a full motorizied unit and it really means nothing after the first setup. I could see if maybe its not ceiling mounted that it gets moved or bumped I suppose.
