Which Projector in the following situation???


I have a Dalite 106", 92x52, 1.3 screen now and have the 4:3 INFOCUS LP-350. I use this for DVD viewing only, with a room that is not all that light controlled, but do most viewing in the evening anyway. I would like to go to a 16x9 projector and use the progressive from my EAD TheaterVision. RGB if possible, RCA's as a secondary method.

The room is 20 by 14, the viewing position is 13 feet from the screen, and I would like to mount the projector on the ceiling just behind the sitting position, or 14 feet from the screen.

I do not know how to calculate the throw to make the proper decision, but I would like it to be about 14 feet from the screen, if this is possible.

I have thoughts of the Cinema 13HD, Infocus ScreenPlay 110, Sanyo PLC-XP21N (or a copy) or one of the Sony VPL-VW10 or 11HT's. Not ruling out the Sanyo PLV-60HT either. I am REALLY hoping to keep the price in the $3,500 range, so preowned is fine.

Regardless of price, please let me know what you think is best so I can look seriously in that direction. I might have to spend a few dollars more for the 'right' one, and will save some cash if need be.

Porschecab, try the AVS Forum: www.avsforum.com
There are some of the most informed videophiles in the world there, and their members are usually happy to be of help. Not to say that there aren't many well informed videophiles at Audiogon, just that AVS is a great resource as well. Good luck. Martin.
