Looking to spend no more than £800 ($1600) and is needed to cover a very large wall and still look sharp.
Answer
If you mean 1080p, prices are still beyond your limit (The cheapest is about $2600 US).
But if you mean 720p, there are a number of good models in the $1000 - $1500 range (although $2000-$2500 offers a few even better).
BTW, I'm not very familiar with UK prices, but my suspicion is they are a bit higher than in North America ... so you may have to adjust accordingly.
That all said, you can expect to be able to display a pretty sharp image (from a viewing distance of 2X screen width) on a 90"-120" (diagonal screen).
Note that screens can cost as much or more than your projector budget so you should plan to make your own for less than $100 (See AVS forum's DIY screen section (first link). Either paint a wall with a very light grey paint or use "blackout cloth" (white, slightly stretchy curtain liner) on a wood frame).
In terms of models, have a look at the highly rated models at projector central (see link) and find one available in the UK. For a start have a look at the Optoma HD70 (3rd link).
You can do what you want within your stated budget ... but you will have to make a few compromises and therefore you need to educate yourself before making a buying decision. So read as much as you can on projectors (there's lots of useful info on Projector Central and projector reviews (last link)).

What is the best mini projector on the market?
J S
I just want to connect to my macbook and project movies. battery life, resolution and size of picture are key.
I currently like theDLP Pico projector, and the Dell M109S.
Answer
The Dell M109S is very good and has a 800x600 resolution and costs about $450 but cannot be powered by battery and does not fit in your pocket. The only DLP pico on the market right now is the Optoma which costs about $400 but has a resolution of 480x320. I think that the pest pocket projector right now is the Aiptek, it sells for $299 through amazon and has a built in video player and memory, it also has a native resolution of 640x480 and built in speakers. The projector the Aiptek uses is the 3M which is as bright as the Optoma pico.
