Help choosing a projector.

[tylerdustin2008]

Well I sold my 37" Westinghouse about 2 weeks ago, and I need something else. I will be moving somewhere within a month or so and a big TV just wont work.

So whats the best projector for right around $600 plus or minus $100.

EDIT: Must have Y,Pr,Pb ports.


Thanks.

Tyler

If I was buying a budget projector right now, I'd probably be looking at something like this one
http://av123forum.com/showthread.php?t=24452
Infocus 7205 for $450. (High end 720p DLP from a couple years ago)

For a new one, http://www.projectorcentral.com/ would be a starting place to find some of the more popular ones.
I'm not exactly sure what the best budget one is at the moment.

Have you looked at the projector area of AVSforum yet?

Yea i have checked out there FS area. Nothing really in my budget, But i did PM that guy with the 7205. Lets hope it has low hours.

I haven't bought from tigerdirect in years (and never will again) but I would say that if you buy from them don't expect any customer service or support. If the product works thats great if there is a problem then you will have to deal with acer as tiger wont be any help (at least from my past experiences).

I purchased a optoma dv10 a little while back

it's a great all in one unit.
but the bad thing is you cant mount it

but I use it in my ht room and back yard so it works fine for me
