Hi All!

I am looking for projector which is cheaper than 400e (of course cheaper = better ). I am really lost with all projectors...

I sorted some list of the cheapest projectors (all under 400e).

My types are following:

1. Infocus X20v + voucher lamp (how voucher works?) - 318e
2. Infocus X6 - 375e/322e (elara/pixmania)
3. Mitsubishi SD206u - 358e
4. Toshiba TDPSP1 - 338e
5. Acer X1160 - 376e/306e (elara/pixmania)

7. Sanyo PDG-DSU20e - 317e
8. Optoma ES520 - 322w
9. Optoma DS306 - 339e
10. Toshiba TDP-S8 - 383e

Which one can You recommend for me? Maybe You know shop with projectors in Dublin?

Mainly, I am going to watch movies (80%), photos (10%) and games (10%). The first 5 of the list are from elara.ie shop which I preffer (pixmania.ie can be but is 2nd in order)

You're better off checking at Avforums.com. It's based in England I think.

Avoid business class projectors. They are not optimized for motion video. Such projectors are designed for portability and use for Power Point presentations. They typically have the following weaknesses for home theater use: loud fans, light leakage from the cabinet, inferior optics, poor color fidelity, poor deinterlacing processors for interlaced video program formats, poor black levels, poor contrast, lack of component video and HDMI inputs, poor analog to digital processing chips, etc.
