I am looking for a projector that will allow me to play my Xbox games, wii games, DVD's, and connect to my direct tv box for sports. I would like great clear and crisp picture. My price range is around $700.00 but would like cheaper( but let's be realistic that's probably not going to happen). My screen is 10 ft wide and 7 ft tall. I also am able to hang the projector from 12-16 ft. The room has one window and is easily made very dark or light. Any suggestions?
The Xbox has HDMI (and I use the red and white cables for audio with turtle beaches). DVD player has both HDMI or component as well as te direct tv box. The direct tv box is also hd. As far as a large television I simply belived I could have a larger screen for less money with a projector. The annual cost for bulbs would add up granted but figured that it would be unique for my man cave I have built. The height for the projector will not be an issue due to me currently building a loft that can be made to equal the height of the screen. I did not know however about that and it will sure help. Also I have researched and am wondering about a 'lag' for any online gameplay?
Answer
My first advice would be to get a large flatscreen instead of a projector. Flat screens are more forgiving of ambient light and have tons of inputs and have a lower cost of operation (no bulbs).
If you really want a projector just make sure you get a wide format home theater projector of a known name brand.
Keep in mind that the projector needs to be hung at the same level as the top of the screen. If the screen top is 10 feet off the floor, the projector needs to be at that same height. You may need to buy an extension pole to get it at the right height. Your distance from the screen is good because the projector usually ends up at about 1.5 times the screen width.

Hey, I looking at this projector and I am wondering if it is compatible with an Xbox 360? It gives the input features but I dont understand them.

If not can you guide me to a good buy for a projector that is compatible with the Xbox 360? Thanks!
Answer
Composite is the yellow video cable that generally goes with red and white for audio. The S-Video is the one that looks like the plug in for an old mouse or keyboard. RGB would be the red green and blue plugs that look like the red white and yellow ones.
The Xbox 360 HD cable has "composite" and "RGB," also known as component.
I believe there is also a 360 cable that has S-Video, but I don't have one personally.
If you look at your Xbox 360 cable and it has six plugs all the same shape, Red, White, Yellow, and Red Green and Blue, then you are good to go on that projector, for sure.
