Help chosing a projector

Go to solution Solved by target39,

Its so cheap I'm afraid its just gonna die on me :P

But it's got the highest lamp life out of these three... It's also gotten wonderful reviews by users and experts.

 

Also, it's the only one of these three that may be overclockable to 100+hz.

Have you checked out the Optoma HD25-LV?

 

It sells for $1188 with free in ear headphones and a 4GB flashdrive at BuyDig, which is a pretty reliable store in my opinion since I bought a 58" 3DTV from them nearly 3 years ago during holiday season and it arrived within 5 days with no problems whatsoever.

Optoma HD25 or BenQ W1080ST. The BenQ is a short throw projector so at short distances you get bigger images than normal, which could be ideal if you're in an apartment or something small. You could even go $100 cheaper and get the BenQ W1070 which is almost identical to the W1080 model except that it's not short throw.
