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?

I'm in Cytocycle's camp on this one. Eandylee, I was where you are about a month ago. I was sold on the 7200, until
I heard how much quieter the BenQ 8700+ was. The picture
was as good but less bright. I actually preferred the Benq's picture. I was sold on the BenQ 8700+ until I had a chance to view the Optoma H77. The H77 will cost abit more
(contact Ralph at Pollision) but my thinking was not too
buy down and always be thinking about the H77. It's very
quiet, V&H lens shift, and has remote control focus and
zoom and a stunning picture. With the H77, I never think
about BenQ or Infocus. And should be happy for a long time.
Good luck, deciding on a projector is a process. Think long
term.
