    Best Bang for the Buck in the $3000 to $5000 Range

    Best PJ in that price range is the JVC RS15 or RS25. If your familiar with AVS forums, then I would suggest you get with Jason in sales and go for a RS20 or the sale they have on the JVC RS35. These are in your price range and it will best the two projectors your looking at by a long shot.

    PT-AE3000U Installation

    Not to discredit the OPs choice of PJ, but I agree with you Gregg. I like the Epsons allot better. Not sure what the Panny 4000U will bring to table but I guess we shall see soon enough.

    Optoma HD65 DLP 720p OR Mitsubishi HC1600 720p

    I would'nt get either, I would go the extra mile and go for 1080p BenQ W1000 or Optoma HD20.

    Projectors

    Agree with you Greg which is why I recommend the Carada over the Stewart due to price range. As for Sim2 I know most of the midrange models are way above 5K but have not seen anything in the price range you mentioned, especially buying new.

    Projectors

    At 6K I would buy JVC RS15 or 25 and Carada Criterion Screen or Stewart. I have seen Stewart screens and though very nice I went Carada for a few reasons. JVC is always the projector to beat for some reason, I've owned two so far and have spent some time with them. Cust.Service is always very...

    PT-AE3000U Installation

    Chief makes a very good mount as mentioned by others. Hopefully Proj People is offering you the RPAU model as it is a Universal Mount. I have one paired with my JVC RS10. Also Chief does make down extension pipes to pair up with the ceiling mounts, I personally use a 3" down pipe and it works...

    Crazy amount of equipment, how do i set it up?

    If you're going to use the LSi's I highly suggest you invest in an external amp to power those speakers. They are 4 ohms speakers and most receivers can't power them as they should be. You'll end up blowing something.

    Was thinking of 1080p, but would 720 suffice? Opinions please! Also laminate screen?

    I think 1080p should be the no-brainer here, especially at what the prices are for good PJs at less than 2000. Not sure what your bedget is for the pj but consider Epson 1080, 1080UB as they are under 2k. I have a JVC HD1 on ebay with 900hrs listed for 2k. I'm not here to push a sale but to make...

    best place to buy projector lamp replacements?

    I've had good luck with Amazon, projector people and AVS.

    Projection Spots (White/Dust) - How to get rid of them?

    I suggest Dr. Clean from Digital Innovations. Its pretty good stuff as with compressed air cans. Stay away from glass but try to blow everything out. If opening up the PJ scares, perhaps you should send it in for service.

    Looking for used but not totally outdated

    Not much of a budget you have but check out projector people and see what they offer in your price range.

    Sub and center recomendations?

    Skip the Polk Sub and go for a better sub, Polk subs tend not to offer very much on the low end. I'd save up for an Epik or SVS sub.

    Center Channel Speaker to go with pair of Polk RTi10's. What to buy?

    CSi5 or the CSiA6 will be the much better center. The CSi3 is a ok, but the 5/6 will give better dialog and enhance your front soundstage. Go for the bigger center, u wont regret it.

    Tis the Season for a new Projector!

    Just barely over 3k, but its well worth the stretch IMHO.

    Projector Advice Needed - Samsung SP-A800B in limbo

    With that budget you should skip the RS2 and look at the newer JVC RS10 and RS20. Not sure what gain screen you have but I have reports from owners with 159" screens reporting back succcessful results. Worth a look

    New guy, old projector.

    HTDepot.com offers best projector screen value for home theater offers cheap screens. Your initial post is rather confusing with the 5 feet by 5 feet screen. So take a look there and go for a hi gain screen which may help you in your case.

    Need help on Projector screen

    Check out Carada screens, depending on size of your room I would stick with the larger screen. Not sure why anyone go with a small screen when going FPJ unless you dont have the room size to do so. If the room permits stick with the larger screen.

    How can i create a Projector screen on Wall

    www.htdepot.com is your friend, bargain screens with great performance at an excellent price. Try a pull up screen, much better than paint.

    CALLING ALL PROJECTOR GURUS

    I would not go smaller in screen, go with the 119 or 120 even and pair it with the UB or the 6500. You could go with the Carada BW screen which claims 1.4 gain, which would give you more pop in your picture. The 1080UB would have no problem lighting up a screen at that size. Check out Carada...

    Sony Bravia Projector + Denon 3808Ci receiver + ?? what else do i need

    Need more info...what projector model is it? Full 1080 or 720p? Either way Blu is the way to go. Denon wont necessarily improve PQ over the processor in the PJ. Again you need to post more info.

    Any Sony "V" Series LCD owners out there?

    I own two of the 40V4100 screens, one mounted in the dining room, the other in my master bedroom, both are great performers, I updated the firmware in both using USB mem stick. Truly an excellent picture, I scored both for under 1k here in Japan.

    which pioneer elite receiver

    I own the SC07, so depending on your budget I would at least try for the SC-05.

    Screen Paint Color

    Agreed, the Carada screens arent that expensive compared to most. If Carada is out of your price range check out Elite screens.

    extension cord to projector

    I suggest having an electrician put an outlet in ceiling, shouldnt cost much at all. Use either Monster Flatscreen Powerprotect 200 or PS Audio In Wall Power Conditioner.

    MY RPTV just died and I'm LOST on this HD stuff.

    If you want a great bang for buck I would highly recommend a Vizio LCD model. That should offer you HD in excellent quality and should last you some time. Granted its not the top of line Pioneer Elite, Sony, or Samsung, however it will throw a nice picture and one you can be happy with.
