Default New Projector

Hello everyone...

I thought this would be the forum for this since it involves gaming with consoles.

I have bought an Epson S1+ Powerlight projector last year for over $1000USD and I noticed that projector prices have gone down quite a bit, and that they are much better quality. I love my Epson because it is super bright for presentations and other buisness apps, however for at home - the quality of the graphics could be better. I am trying to find another projector for use with xbox360/ps2/movies/etc that will have darker blacks with a higher contrast ratio, and also be closer to if not HD. I don't mind buying used, and ebay would be a nice place to find one - any suggestions on a model/brand that is affordable nowdays?

Don't forget that with Costco the site and warehouses are separate. So what's on the site isn't always available in the warehouse.

Wow I wish I could buy that.

well, people put all kinds of words in the title for hits, however this is the description

The "Educator Series" XR-10X offers brilliant high-resolution images - with 2000 ANSI Lumens brightness and XGA native resolution. Utilizing the latest Texas Instruments DDR DLP™ display technology with 3x speed, 4-segment color wheel in conjunction with TrueVision™ (DDP2000) image processing, ensures superior color quality, brightness and reliability. Multiple ultra-quiet cooling fans, along with extended lamp life, makes the projector an ideal choice for extended-use operation. And a full complement of inputs and outputs (including RGB-loop through, stereo variable audio line-output and RS-232C), makes the projector ideal not only for "portable" use but for higher-end integration as well.

If you want to stay around the $1,000 price range, I would recommend the Dell 2400MP. Seems to meet most if not all of your requirements as well

Well...I dunno...having already a projector in the house (Sharp) I find it nice but in terms of display I would rather have a Plasma or TFT TV.On the projector side , it depends where that thing is placed in the house , like mine, it's in the living and we had windows all over .,thus not so applicable when the sun is shining bright, but I visited a friend's house recently and he has that Dell's 26"....got me interested in buying it...by the way I don't really know whats the price like for a TFT or Plasma in your place ,but like me in Japan, a 32" would be in the range of 1500 US...and I won't mind paying the extra having the experience with projectors before and now....
