I can also recommend the Optoma H30 projector. I saw one at a friends house ( he was demonstrating his Optoma H77 that Optoma gave him as a demo unit ) and the H30 looks great! A buddy down the street bought one ( about $ 1300.00 ) and he's throwing a crazy big 116" wide picture on a wall that looks fantastic! I still like my NEC HT1000, but for the money, the H30 rocks! Plus, at 2 X the screen width away, it looks just as good as my $ 4000.00 XGA projector!
