Im looking for a projector for under $300 for my basement. It is super dark where i would use it at to only play xbox. I am going to build the screen using blackout cloth for the material and mount it either on the ceiling or set it on a bookcase depending of how far it needs to be for the screen size I will project it at.
Answer
No. You're looking at novelty, portable projectors. Anything under $300 is going to be pretty lousy. Unless you're only using it as a novelty item, you'd be wise to save up until you have around $800-1,000 preferably $1,000. You can probably find a decent cheap projector screen on eBay. Something from Da-Lite or Elite should be good. Just make sure you spend around $250-300.
New home theater projectors are coming out in October, so you should wait either way.
I've provided a link to a projector review site. Also, good projectors require a bulb change after 2,000+ hours. They usually cost around $200.

Remember, they are pretty loose with the 5/5s on pico and pocket projectors, lol.
Personally, I'd go with the Panasonic 5th generation projector coming out. It will probably be the PT-AE5000U and will probably cost $2,000. It will last you 3+ years instead of 3 months.
By the way, the FAVI RioHD-LED-2 is available for $247 at Amazon.com.

How to Choose a LED Projector?

Projector is a device that a picture or video can be projected onto the screen, you can connect the player with the corresponding video signal through a different interface with computers, VCD, DVD, BD, game consoles, DV and so on. I am looking for a LED projector. Who can help me what I should pay attention to? How about the led projector 1080p?
Answer
First of all you will want to find out what the Contrast Ratio is the higher the better. It also matters if you want HD or not if you do a HD model will cost considerably more then a basic projector. One of your big names in projectors is Epson and they range anywhere from 700.00-2700.00 most are LCD not LED. The other name is BenQ they can be found at your local electronics stores like Future Shop or Best Buy and online at Amazon.
If your planning on using Bluray Player you'll want a 1080p to take advantage of this quality if not a 720p will do fine. VCD and DV are just different formats that could be on a disk to be played on a DVD or Bluray Player. If your planning on using a laptop with this and it only has VGA make sure the projector does as well and an audio input if you have HDMI port on computer this will not be required.
P.S. the top 5 Projectors from PC Magazine are as follows.
The Epson Powerlite Home Cinema 3020E--Price 1900.00
The Epson Powerlite Home Cinema 5020UBE--Price 2399.99
The Epson Powerlite Home Cinema 750HD-750.00
Sony VP-HW30ES 3700.00
Viewsonic Pro 9000 1759.00

The link above for all the important details.
In reality a really good projector is going to cost as much as a really good TV making sure you also have a great screen to bounce off the projection is also important and these can be costly as well.
