Projector question


I want to install a projector in our "media" room and get rid of the plasma tv. It would be used almost exclusively for movies. Maybe a little gaming and a little watching sports. Here's the thing, I know nothing about projectors. Budget of $1200-$1500. Do I want LCD, DLP, screen, painted "screen", etc?

Thanks

I just read "The official JVC DLA-HD350 owners thread" (the last few pages anyway) at the AVSforum.....I wouldn't invest in that projector at any price, yikes!

Do a search at the AVSforum before you buy.

I bought the Epson 8350 a few months back to replace my old Infocus X-1 projector....I'm very happy with the Epson.

I paid $1,199 for mine. (Visual Apex....an online dealer)

You do need to do some reading at the sites mentioned above before you buy, because the projector you buy "must" fit your needs for "your" room.

I use my projector for DVD movies, wii games, sports, and netflix streaming.

I could not read the whole owners thread, it's very long. All I read was the last few pages and didn't like what I read.

That said, I understand that this is a $5,000 projector....so I'm not surprised anyone would point out that it is better than a $1500-$2000 projector.....I would be surprised if it were not better (much better!)

At $1,129 I would say you got a great deal. That said, I found no deals like that in Michigan (our Best Buy doesn't even carry that brand afaik).
