I was going to buy a new HD tv and I checked out CRT flatscreen,DLP,LCD,CRT rear projection and ended up buying an InFocus 4805 DLP projector.For $1500 it was well worth it albeit I`m using blackout cloth for a screen right now.Anyway,you get a pretty decent picture and its awesome for dvd movies and dvd music videos.
Pros=If you have the room;up to 100 inch diagonal in 16:9.Great picture if you use a good screen.Cheap(I hear its going for $1299. now).Accepts HD signal.You can hook up comp to it for games and interweb.
Cons=DLP rainbow artifacts sometimes.Noisy if you use lamp on high power(not needed).Bulb life is about 4,000 hours on low power($400. for bulb.)Must have a dark room w/ no ambient light.Screens can be $.Hint=go to local fabric store like Jo-anns and get 3 yards of blackout cloth for about $20 if you are a cheap fuck like me.Bitchy wife or GF might not like the idea of dark room=get rid of wife or gf the projector is better than a nagging bitch believe me.
