Just to make sure - do you have a light controlled room?
This is a good resource for checking out comparisons between projectors including the latest units.

Do you know if you're susceptible to the Rainbow Effect for DLPs? The large screen size and thus viewing angle you get from front projection setups often means you eyes are darting more across the screen that can really bother some people on DLP units depending on the unit's capabilities (color wheel speed and segments). If you know that doesn't bother you much if at all, there are some great ~$1000-ish 720p DLP models out.

I paid $1045 for my Sanyo PLV-Z5 from ProjectorPeople last year. Throw in another $35 or so for materials & paint for screen and I have a 92" screen for much much less than a TV would have cost me. 😉
Looks like they're OOS at the moment though.
Oh and do your research, and a lot of it. I spent probably a good 3-4 weeks researching before I decided on the Z5. Everyone's room, personal preferences, budget, etc are different.

Have you come up with any contenders in your research so far?
What about seeing some in person?
Have you been thinking about the screen as well? You might want to consider a DIY screen if you're into projects. I made my own screen and masking system which is working quite well.
