The 7000 series projector are catered to the business user. Bright bulbs. Having bright bulbs can wash out the color intensity. You are better of going with the 6000 or 8000 series which have better performance for HT. Bulbs are specific to models. You would need to get a Benq type bulb. Misfit Toy points out a great site for resource. That is where I started. http://www.projectorcentral.com/recommended-home-theater-projectors.htm
