My family and I have not watched TV in 22 years and have no interest in doing so, but we do greatly enjoy watching 3-4 DVD movies each week. After walking through Costco each week and drooling over the new "big" sets, I'm bent on cashing in my 1990 32" Panasonic for something bigger and definitely sharper!
Unfortunately, a 32" TV is all that will fit in my built in wall unit, which I'm not going to replace. So, that leaves me with purchasing a projector. My question is which projector? As one bright person said in response to my earlier questions, "what's it worth to me?"
I'm willing to pay up to $2,000 for a projector, $350 for a home-theater-in-a-box system, and make my own screen. I already have good advise on the screen and I'm willing to buy something cheap at Costco for the home-theater-in-a-box.
My primary concern is the projector. There's so many options out there, I'm at a loss where to start. All I'm certain of is having something for DVD's in a less than perfectly dark room, and it must be quiet, since the usable part of the room is only 12x12. The throw distance to the screen will be about 10-11' and we'll be siting 8-9' from the screen.
So, what projector do you recommend?
