Best cheap Projector-Need help, screen already up

Hi everyone,

I need some advice: I'm looking for a projector under $1700 to replace my Nec LT 140, which is still quite a honey. Will the picture in this price range better my 2 yr old $3000 + Nec unit? Also, I can't really change the setup, which is a 120" Dalite Screen (1.3 gain) and a ceiling mount with a throw distance of about 12 ft 8 inches. My sources are tv/some HDTV when available, and an extensive DVD collection.

Thanks in advance!

Yo Durrell,

Click over to http://www.projectorreviews.com/ and then click on "projector reviews" up at the top of the screen. One of the first on the list is the "projector shootouts".
Then scroll down to the "under $2000 projectors" link.
My advice is to grab a deal on the Optoma HD7100 DLP projector while the $300 rebate is still availible, but that will set you back closer to $2500. The under $2000 is pretty much all LCD and they still can't do black like DLP can. And of course you already know about pricegrabber.com ...right.
