ok, so I am in Japan now and I am coming back to the states in August. I am moving into a house with some friends and I finally can afford a used 720P projector.

But I'm wondering, I will be playing some games from on my desktop using the projector so is DLP not as good as LCD? I personally like it better for movies since it has darker black levels. I also am going to build a 108" 16x9 screen for an estimated cost of about $70 using materials from eBay and the home depot.

My main questions are. Where should I look for a cheap, used, 720P? AVS fourm? eBay? also I have been kind of out of it for awhile. Does anyone know some models I should check on?

Any advice would help me out.

Thanks!

    Where in Japan are you? I have 126 inch screen paired with the JVC HD1. Prices are dropping on the 1080p PJs so you may even be able to find one in your price range and go that route. Im in the USA right now but will return back to Japan in June, so you can see my setup if youre in the area.
