    I am thinking about upgrading the Zenith projector. I will probably have $4500 to spend and I'm really only interested in DLP or LCD. I'm just tired of the CRT route, and the wife no longer wants the big monster hanging from the ceiling. The Infocus 350 dlp sure looks like the way to go. Any...
