Projector question

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

Better you look at some of the 70" LCD's, projectors are a hassle. The new 70's run about $4K. A good projector, mount, screen, cabling etc. will run about $6k and need bulbs at 400.

LCD are easy to place. Your best bet is Epson 8350 for $1299 or the Panasonic 4000 u. I know the Panasonic is a little over budget but it is a great projector. I built my own screen with material I bought on Ebay also the black boarder tape. I spent $180 for a 120" screen. They are simple to make also.This is good pace to do research.

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?
