What is the cheapest 1080p projector available?

A name brand one and where the cheapest place to buy it is.

Answer
The following are two of the least expensive 1080p home theater projectors of which I am currently aware:

Epson PowerLite Home Cinema 6100 Projector (3LCD) -- MSRP US$1,999
(Tentatively scheduled for November 2008 release)

Sanyo PLV-Z700 (3LCD) -- MSRP US$1,999

If youâre willing to spend a little more money (typically US$2500 to US$3500) you will have a much greater selection of quality 1080p home theater projectors from which to choose. Read through the reviews (and articles) on the Projector Reviews and Projector Central Websites, they will be helpful when it comes to assembling your short-list of projectors (and projection screens) that meets your needs and budget. I also highly recommend using the popular discussion forums (listed below) to complement the information you obtain from the review Websites. This should help you to further narrow your selection of prospective video projectors.

Thereâs a never-ending supply of excellent values to be had and a lot to consider so I encourage you to spend a little extra time thoroughly researching your purchase followed by thorough in-store evaluations, youâll be glad you took the time. By the way, for what itâs worth I am not a fan of dynamic iris technology, which is used to artificially enhance contrast and black level performance. I recommend purchasing video projectors that perform sufficiently well without it or with the dynamic iris featured disabled when possible.

When it comes to finding a retailer, if you value your warranty (or at least want to avoid any warranty-related hassles,) you should choose an authorized retailer from the projector manufacturerâs official list of authorized retailers. If youâre interested in a particular retailer that is not currently on the manufacturerâs official list you should contact the manufacturer in writing (e-mail or âsnail mailâ) and ask them if the retailer is authorized or not.

For what itâs worth Consumer Reports published the results of their consumer survey rating several popular online and walk-in consumer electronics retailers in their November 2007 issue. Listed in the order of overall quality the top five online retailers are:

     1. http://www.crutchfield.com
     2. http://www.amazon.com
     3. http://www.costco.com
     4. http://www.jr.com
     5. http://www.buydig.com

A couple of other popular online consumer electronics retailers that come to mind are Newegg and Vanns.

To help you weed-out potentially substandard retailers try using a resource such ResellerRatings; itâs not fool-proof but you may find it helpful.

cheap 3d projector with full 1080p?

Im looking to buy a 3d projector with full 1080p specifications but im looking to spend around £500 or $800.

i have seen the Optoma GT750 Projector 3D 720p at £550.

I watch a lot of movies and have a new xbox 360 slim 250gb currently connected to a 40" LCD 1080p i have noticed that i can use the wall in my room and these projectors and the wall size is roughly
4 Meters = 13.12 Feet wide
2 Meters = 6.56 Feet tall

I would be roof mounting my projector and the main factor is i don't want to downgrade on quality as blue ray technology and 3D movies are becoming very popular

Answer
Optoma HD200X 1080p Full HD Home Cinema Projector is my first DLP Projector and after many weeks deciding whether I should go for a cheaper 720p projector, I finally decided I'd probably regret it if I didn't go for the full 1080p Projector. After reading many reviews I decided on the Optoma HD200x and boy, I can say I was not disappointed.
