There are so many to choose from! Any advice?
Answer
It's a good time to be considering a projector. Prices are way down and performance up relative to even a couple of years ago.
It took me over a year to decide, but you can do it quicker now that things have stabilized more re. prices and technology. I bought a Canon SX60, and it was a good choice, but if I were buying today for the same price I would look very carefully at the JVC DLA-RS1 ... it's getting rave reviews (See 1st link as an example) and yet "only" costs $6000. But, that's me, based on my priorities.
You can get a HT projector for $1000 and up that will give you good results. The site at the second link maintains a list of popular HT projectors at various price points.
But my advice to you:
- First, define a budget.
- Second, read, read, read. See some links below.
- Third, think carefully about your specific needs, recognizing that many factors interrelate (for example, what kind of material do you watch? What aspect ratio is best for your needs? How big is the room? Where do you plan to mount the projector? Is the room light controlled? What size and type of screen (although this is interdependent on the projector)). Note that there is a temtation to assume larger is better. Not true .. see the last link to help define a screen size based on room size/viewing position, and THEN consider the projector to fit screen width, viewing distance, room lighting conditions, mounting preference, etc.
- Read some more, focussing on projectors that meet your priorities defined in step 3.
- Decide.
I hope this helps. Have fun!

What is the best 1080p over head projector?

Answer
I think you mean "front projector". An "overhead projector" is a prism based device for projecting an image of a article or page onto a screen. A front projector is used to project a video image (e.g. HDTV, Blu-Ray or DVD) onto a screen.
The BEST are over $30K ... but 1080p projectors are available for $2000 and up. Arguably the best home model for under $10K is the JVC DLA-RS2. And the best under $3500 model is arguably the Epson Pro Cinema 1080UB. See the comparative review at the link.
