It's been too long since I have update this guide. So without further ado.
720p$600 Sharp DT-510 Refurb. Probably the best picture under $1000, but no lens shift. http://www.tigerdirect.com/ $719 Sanyo PLV Z60 A great price for those who want lens shift. See previous post for how to get this price. $725 Optoma HD65 not quite as good black levels as the DT-510, but brighter. http://www.ibuydigital.com/ $950 Panasonic ax200. For those who need lens shift and a very bright projector. http://www.visualapex.com/
1080p$1300-$150 cash back from live.com. Infocus X10. 1080p for $1150? Awesome! http://www.tigerdirect.com/
