I am very happy with my Benq DX650. XGA, DLP, HD, Progressive, 1600 lumens, 2000 hour bulb life, 600:1 contrast, good black levels, no rainbows or screen door, 3x color wheel, free extra bulb. With some shopping you could pay ~$1300.
This is a professional projector, but it makes for a wonderful HT unit. I watch it every day and everyone who has seen it has been absolutley amazed.
