well here goes, my first post here. Looking for a budget projector for HT applications. I originally had pegged what I wanted, that was a benq 8700, but that appears to be out of the price range now. So what i'm wondering is if there are suitable replacements in the 1000-2000 range. I realize I'm not going to get the same kind of picture, but my question is can I still get something worthwhile for this kind of money and not be disappointed? Here what I'm looking for.
1: 2000$ max better if it were closer to 1500 and of course the cheaper the better.
2: Will be used almost entirely for watching DVD's. But I'd like the option of watching tv on it as well. We don't have hdtv but that might be something of importance in the future. Most important is that it plays dvds well though.
3: Will be in a room that is 14 feet wide and 20 feet long, the screen will be placed on the 14 feet side. Looking at about a 90 inch screen.... Does that sound about right for a room this size? I have no idea. Also this room will be able to block any light, as it has no windows and doors that close blocking any outside light, so the projector won't have to be incredibly bright.
Basically what I'm looking for is specs I should be looking at like what resolution should I want? What lumens will do in a light controled room? And maybe a few suggestions on what some of the better valued buys are in my price range. Thanks to all that take the time to respond
