    720p for a projector? Bah. If you're projecting 100" or more, as you'll want to do, you really should go with 1080p.

    A somewhat low purchase price is all fine and dandy, but until the replacement bulb doesn't cost a sizable fraction of the projector itself, NO DICE!

    @Tony C: Ironically, that may very well happen if more folks buy projectors. Specialty bulbs come at specialty prices. If they become more commonplace, though, prices may drop.

    Meanwhile, you've got the potential for over a hundred inches of screen for under a thousand bucks. Even including the costs of the bulbs, you're still making out a pretty sweet deal.

    For my part? Dice.

    @OCEntertainment: Agreed. I love my Panny projector. A real home theater experience. When the bulb goes, I'll just deal with replacing it then.

    I guess I'm not yet convinced the picture quality is that much better than a normal TV or what the benefits are.

    @Brendanec: The biggest advantage I get from having a projector is size. I managed to get a 100" screen in my basement for about $750 after rebate (HC1600: [www.newegg.com] currently cheaper than that). I could spend twice that much money on a unit half the size in plasma/LED/etc.

    The quality depends on where and how you set it up. Not all screens are equal. I lucked into getting a proper projection screen for free from a friend. There are either paints or fabrics you can get that help you get the most out of your pixels. Also, being in a darkened room helps. Admittedly, projectors don't do so hot in well-lit rooms. Also, there is a bigger know-how requirement for setting it up. But in the end, it's very worth it.

    Each method has its advantages, but supposing you have the space and the patience for it, you can get an impressive home theater setup from a projector for much less than a plasma.

    Yeah, uhm, still gonna wait for the 1080p to get a little better in quality below the $1000 mark before I pull the trigger I think.

    @Lite: hates Illinois Nazis: I think there's a new Epson that's coming out close to this price point.

    this may be a dumb question but does it playback 24fps content?

    @lilaliendog: Interesting it didn't even mention that. I'm guessing it does since it has that interpolation thing going on. I'm just wondering how this thing will go against Panny's AE3000.

    Great, but 4000 hour bulb life? $0.75 per hour for the next four or five years at most, when suddenly it'll crap out?


    I get spending that kind of cash if you've got money to burn, but I'd rather wait for something similarly specced that uses LED.
