Also on the install, is that something for a first timer you should just get best buy to do or some service before you tear your ceiling down? hehe

I went on and searched refurbished projectors and there were a ton of them but honestly I have no idea what is what. Would probably be a bit freaked out getting a refurbished anything. They did have some 2500 dollar projectors under 1K though, that is pretty cool.

WOW on that review site they had this one - Projector We Would Have Liked to Review: Optoma HD142X. The color is amazing! It is only 500 bucks though. 3000 lumens and 23,000 : 1 which is low but wow color is off the chart. I was looking at the Optima GT 1080 as well and it has 3000 lumens...
