Any experienced Projector users?


I know there are a ton of websites and info to be found but there is a certain comfort asking people on Audiogon questions I have, I have done a ton of research so I dont have a ton of question's and just need to confirm some ideas and options.
If anyone out there is up on the more budget end of projectors let me know please.
Main concerns are ceiling height placement, lens shift and zoom options and a few general concerns....thanks

Go to AVS Forums and spend some time doing research.

IMO DLP projectors have gotten so good and are so inexpensive that they are the best way to go today. LCD still suffers from poor black level which makes everything look washed and less 3D, and slow refresh which makes motion look traily and blurred.

The latest DLPs have 1980x1080p resolution, excellent contrast and black level and none of the refresh issues. The only knock on DLPs has been that some people are sensitive to a rainbow effect caused by the color wheel. The newest mono chip DLPs have improved 6 and 7 segment wheels that run at very high rpm and cause less of a rainbow problem. Most people aren't rainbow sensitive anyway.

I have recently done some projector shoot-outs where the Infocus IN82 has started to surpass (for the first time) my Sony G70 CRT. The Sony was $20K new, the 720p IN78 is $3500 and the 1080p IN82 is $5500.

I'm a dealer for Infocus. There are lots of other good DLPs out there.
