Ok HT-Rangers, heres what I got:
*a $2000 budget (projector and screen)
*Room 11' x 12'. It has no windows and one door on a side wall. Ambient light is effectively nothing!
*I will be using the projector for 100% DVD watching. (By the time HD-optical media becomes mainstream I'll be able to afford a new HD-FP set-up). Thus I want a 16x9 native FP. I also hear DLP has a much better contrast ratio than LCD, but I'm open to anything but CRT (no room). As long as its quiet enough to set-up right above my head (the only usable projector mounting space).
Give me a few model suggestions for a projector and a screen to use. I know the x1 and the z1 were big sellers 'round about Christmas time, but are there any new models coming out that'll be the new budget standard-bearer?
