    Thanks,
    zach

    How big of a picture do you want?

        we got ours at costco - $800 for a 15' screen, looks fantastic with a plain old DVD player and component inputs. even divix files look good. you can get high def ones now but they cost quite a bit.

            do you have to have a completely dark room to make it look good??
            how does it deal with a little sunlight in the room??

                we use it more in the winter - it's not so bad if there's a bit of ambient light, but obviously not when there is directly sunlight.

                    Whats better CRT LCD DLP? or is it a personal preference thing. ive noticed that the lcd's are more expensive.

                        Epson makes some great projectors, as well as BenQ. We have a 1080p Epson projector in the theater room of our showroom. About a $4k projector, but fucking amazing. They make much cheaper ones than that, though.

                          I use to set up barco's all the time - but they are more for the pro set ups.

                          I'm going to go DIY...
