Consider your room size, planned screen width(diagonal) and seating distance from the screen. Generally I believe the minimum seating distance from your screen is about 1.5x the diagonal screen width. Most people seem to think 1.7 is better, and even further back is good, too. If your distance is too close you may not enjoy it just like sitting roo close to a regular tv. Also get one of the DVI DVD players that can upscale the picture. Also consider the cost of a screen - if you like DIY you can order screen material and make your own frame and save$$$. I went front projector over big screen tv and have never looked back. Just wish I'd gotten into it sooner.
Front Projector Choice...
I was thinking about 60" plasma or 70"DLP/LCD rear projection, but decided to go with front projector this time...
The two I'm considering is Infocus Screenplay 7200 and BenQ 8700(+)... I guess these are pretty much almost top of the line from Infocus and BenQ. I think I can grab these at around $3500-4000 these days.
What are the competitors to these? other althernatives?
What brands are considered one step up?
Any general comments on front projectors?
