You also might check out the Panasonic PT-AE700U. It is starting to ship in about a week. So far it looks killer, and it is selling for about 2199.00 Not sure what price range you are trying to stay in. It pretty much has better stats then alot of the DLP2+ projectors out their and at a fraction of the price. I am considering the benQ8700+ but the Panasonic seems to be as good if not better that less then half the price. Just my 2 Cents. Best of luck with what ever you decide, but check out http://www.projectorcentral.com/ you will learn pretty much anything you need to know there.
