Q. Alright so im going to college in 20 days. My roommate and I want to have a projector in our room instead of a television. So the question is, if i were to buy one of these, which could i run through a cable outlet and perhaps hook up an xbox 360 to. If i have to buy adapter that's fine. I just want one that woud be easy to use and affordable. So here are some options. My price range is about $200 max so i will be buying used.
A) InFocus X1a DLP Multimedia Video Projector
B)Optoma (PT100) LCD gaming and video Projector
C) Name a better one under $200 that would work well in a dorm room :)
it is for a small college dorm room and it doesnt have to be high def at all. i just want one because they take up way less room.

Answer
Keep in mind that projectors needs to be in a dark room to be effective. Also the lamps on the projector are only rated at 2,000 hours of use, replacing a lamp can cost you a minimum of $50 if it is available at all. There is no sound system and you will need a screen also. For the price of $200 it is not going to be a reliable one. I use a projector for watching blu ray disc movies only and the cost of the projector was $3,499. A decent one will cost you around $1,500. A standard tv either Plasma, LCD or LED are rated at 60,000 to 100,000 hours and are less expensive than a projector. It is also much brighter than a projector in a well lighted room. Keep in mind, you get what you pay for. Hope this will help you out.

i have a 300 ansi projector right now and even in pure darkness the colors are washed out and its hard to see when its a dark movie. i want to know how many lumen or ansi lumens that are near to television quality. it doesn't have to be perfect. can you recommend any good projectors that are not too expensive?
thank you alan and...your name i just forgot but i see you posting to projector questions all the time guy. i have it set up to were its at 150 inches. i love this size....oh wait you gave me a link to calculate it...ah well if anyone posts again maybe that can confirm what i calculate on that site for the right amount of lumens to screen size.
Answer
The lumen level needed with depend on the screen size, however 1000 lumens is considered a minimum for a 6 foot wide screen in a room where the screen is totally dark. This assumes a proper projection screen vs. a white painted wall or surface.
