[QUOTE="LilBassGuy, post: 4267365, member: 568000"] Hey guys I have decided to use my tax refund to buy a projector to turn my apartment living room into a home theater. I already built a pair of speakers and have a sub, so the audio is covered, but my 27 inch tube tv is killing me. So I looked into pricing for some projectors, both DLP and LCD. My price range is between 500 and 700 dollars for the projector, and the screen I will build myself. I want something bright, so that I can still use it during the day and with the lights on without worrying about the image washing out. Tigerdirect had a pretty good deal on a Viewsonic DLP: [URL="http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=2881686&Sku=V18-5110"]http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=2881686&Sku=V18-5110[/URL] but the reviews for that projector all seemed to say that it was good, for the MONEY. I would rather spend the extra 200 and have a brighter picture and better resolution (would prefer at least 2000 lumens and XGA resolution). The projector I am seroiusly looking at getting is an Epson, and this one is an LCD.

Are there any other models I should be looking at? Any input is appreciated. Thanks, JG [/QUOTE]
