These are looking like very useful sites for me. Thanks!.
I think I may push it to more in the $2,000 range. It's a first projector for me, but it's replacing a pretty good plasma TV, so I don't want to skimp.
I've been reading up a bit, and I think for my application I want a projector that "spends" a little more of the buck bang on brightness. The room I have in mind will be vulnerable to ambient light.
I think I'm going to pull the trigger on one of these during the holiday sale season. Amazon would be my typical place to go -- any other sources out there I should think about?
I'm going to have to think hard about the difference between the 3050 and the 4050.
