where can I find good projector under 400?

best hd projector under 800 image

Benjamin

I'm looking for a projector to put in my room and was wondering if anyone knew of a good place to find one. I need it to be HD compatible and to look good on a 125 inch screen. My biggest problem is finding a decent one that has HD. None of the 200 dollar projector crap. I'm not asking you to do my shopping for me just if you have any ideas where to find one.
Here's the specs I want to have.
1. 2000 lumen
2. 1500.1 contrast
3. under 400 dollars i can budge a little
4. HD-mi or HD av cables compatible
5. 1024 x 768 native( nothing below 800 x 600

The database at the link can be searched by features. Using your criteria (or as close as I can) your options are as shown at the link. Play with it (e.g. substituting various other resolutions) and see what comes up. Use the reviews to get opinions and be sure to verify from the spec sheet on any model of interest that it accepts HD input.

I assume you know that 800x600 native resolution is not HD. And I'd point out that a 125" screen is probably too big for your room (See 2nd link). Finally, prices shown are street price (not MSRP) but you may be able to do better.

Good luck.

Projector question and speakers?

Mike P

so i want to get a cheap nice projector and maybe some speakers
i need it to work i a room were during day the shades will be closed and at night it will be very dark it dosent have to be too big and it will have to hook up to a dvd/blueray player or my xbox. as far as speakers go i just need some that will work not super fancy and i dont have a lot of $$ to spend this is more of a weekend project just to have around

also can someone tell me some good speakers to hook up to my tv and xbox for better sound there?

links and names are greatly appreciated thanks

Answer
well, as far as projectors go, you arent going to get a good one for under 600$ unless you can find a great deal or sale somewhere. i have only seen a small handfull of 720p projectors under 600 $, and as for the 1080p projectors, they are about 800-1,000 $. if you Really dont care about graphics and picture quality, you can go with a 800-600 projector, but you will see alot of pixels and huge aliasing problems. (woundnt recommend) here is a good buy i found on ebay, this is what you would want for the cheapest price

and as for speakers, i would recommend any 5.1 surround system, and for speakers, you usually get what you pay for. here is a cheap buy also for speakers
