Hi, I've been looking for a HDTV projector, suitable for viewing in a small darkened room (as in no ambient light at all) at close distance (about 1.5m). I'm not interested in entertaining an audience: this is just for my viewing. I did a Google Dealtime search, and found one very cheap, but since I've never bought a projector before, I'd like the opinions of some people here:pixmania.co.uk/uk/uk/91501/art/benq/pb2220-videoprojector.html
At first glance the specs I'm most interested in seem to be there: good image size and projection distance (i.e. way bigger than I actually need), HD resolution, DLP technology. Lumens is very low, but as I said it's for a darkened room, so how high does it need to be? Also, the lamp life seems a bit short, only 2000 hours (or, 1000 2 hour movies), but I think that should be fine consideringmy viewing habits (though with that in mind, when it does come time to change the lamp, would it be possible to get one with a longer life, or do you generally have to get the exact same model lamp?). And a
