I'm looking for a budget digital projector like an InFocus X1, Dell 2400MP, InFocus 4805, etc. If anyone has one that they would like to sell, feel free to PM me.

Edit: It has to be CHEAP! :)

    You said cheap.
    I am running just regular DVD's, and I bought it for the kids, and cheap bulbs. I was however pleasantly surprised at the video quality. Screen door effect (pixilization) is barely noticeable at seating position with an 8 foot screen, at 10 feet.
    Please. Please contact me a ben62670 @ yahoo.com. Make sure to include who you are, and you are from Polk so I don't delete your email. Also I am now physically unable to work on any projects. If you need help let these guys know. There are many people who will help if you let them know where you are.
    Thanks
    Ben

    Too bad. I have a Mitsubishi HC3 that just needs a new bulb. Was just looking at selling it on Ebay. I have 100% positive feedback but understand if you want new. Mitsubishi HC1500 ROCKS! I bought it from a company in Florida so there was no sales tax. Shipping was very reasonable. If you want his information, I can provide. (no affiliation).

    Most of the 1024x768 projectors are business projectors. There's a ton of those out there for well under 1K.
    Examples:
    Mitsubishi XD206U-G - DLP projector ~$800
    BenQ MP622C - DLP projector ~$800
    ViewSonic PJ551D - DLP projector ~$700

    I might just go with the Dell new. My uncle has it and he raves about the picture quality.

    Talk to Marc at projectiondiscount.com

    office@projectiondiscount.com

    He's an authorized dealer (at least for Mitsubishi) and I haven't found anyone that can beat his prices. My Mitsubishi was drop-shipped from the manufacturer so I know he's legit.

    He also has great feedback on Ebay...

    ...again, no affilliation.

    Also, if you need a screen or cables, he has great pricing on those as well.

    Thanks,

    I think I am going to buy directly from the manufacturer though (Sony, Panasonic, Sanyo, InFocus, etc.)
