Great, affordable 720p pj...suggestion?

BenQ PE7700 for the longest time was being sold off at $750 online at the BenQ website.

I have a 7700 with a 116 DIY screen and it looks very good according to all reports.

The Projector people might be able to point you towards a few decent choices too.

uh, I meant the first choice in the retialers list for this reviewed item... the projector place... not projector people.

The reviews there at Projector Central cover several models and makes. DLP & LCD.

What always makes picking out a 'best' whatever, is my fear I'll get less than or outright screwed. Given your current level of video and these offers being reviewed by PC... I don't believe you'll make a bad choice.... which ever way you go. I think all of them are substantial steps up from your now situation.

Get what you can justify buying and perhaps add a better screen. then, you will have made improvements across the board.

Check for service outlets closest to you so that's out of the way, and give which ever one you want most a call to their support dept and ask a few questions so you can decide better or be more comfortable with your pick... you'll have it for a while, might as well find out what sort of people you're getting involved with, huh?

Support has made my mind up for me more than once.... all else being about the same.

The brightness and vividness of the BenQ PE 7700 DLP are great. I've seen no color issues, rainbows, screen doors etc... and ask everyone that see's it if they do... and none have said yes yet.

The info here on screen color interests me a lot. I'm using a 1.0-1.1 screen material in an on wall 100 in. wide - 116 diag 16x9 on wall deal.

What happens if the screen is darkend and when would one want to go that way as opposed to a brighter screen?

I'd like more color prominence but hesitate to run things oversaturated... cartoon or comic book like as over saturating can do to colors.

LCD have more installation flexibility than do DLP. usually. i feel DLP is more natural looking though... and the opinions I get from others.
