Projector question

This is one of the best sites if not the best for projector reviews.http://www.projectorcentral.com/

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?

I agree with Chadnliz.

I did the 70" LCD thing, very nice. But, the 70" lcd is no contest compared to a projector image for half the amount of money paid for the 70" tv.

Don't let anyone fool you, big is where it's at....that's why people with big-screen tv's still go to the movies. That's why tv's keep getting bigger....everyone want's the biggest image they can get at home. Once you see a 120 inch or bigger image in your home, there's no going back to ANY television to watch a movie.

And yes, I had to replace a bulb once....$400.

Once you've set the thing up, you're home free.

Also, once you set up your projector, don't invite any friends over.....you'll never be able to get rid of them once they've seen your screen.

ProjectorCentral is the best site I've seen for projectors.
