I am putting a front projector in a bright 25' by 21' room. big window without drapes in front. The salesmen is insisting that the infocus 777 is the only way to go for brightness to prevent curtains, darkening, etc. I watch alot of HD television sports, etc. and some movies. I don't want spend $15K for a projector. any thoughts?

I believe the Infocus 777 is their 3 chip dlp model and all 3 chip dlps are expensive. They have the 7205 single chip dlp that many owners love for its brightness, so maybe that will be of interest to you. Check out Projector Central for info on this and other high brightness projectors. They usually show mfgr suggested list prices plus feature a calculator to help you decide on position of your PJ for various screen sizes. -
No matter how bright the projector is, if ambient light hits the screen, you're going to get a washed out image.
If that isn't an issue, go for a higher-lumens PJ. Otherwise, get some blinds and/or drapes for that window, or only watch the PJ at night.Comment

yea, regardless of how expensive the Front projector is, you will not like it with alot of ambient light in the room. I think he's just trying to sell you the most expensive projector.Comment

Heya guys,

Anyways,... -

Okay, I'm at the end of my very long home theater project, and am finally going to buy a projector. Help me decide which one to go with!
I've been looking for a projector I can get under $2500 end price that can show 720p minimum resolution pictures on a 16:9 format image. Here's what... -
I was fortunate enough to have the use of a new 4805 & 76-inch Infocus screen for a couple of weeks. I'm planning to buy a projector and screen in mid-February.
(Incidentally, it will definitely be a step up, no matter what: It's replacing a Kloss Novabeam built around 1982. Works...
