Tricia Dossous: There are a couple sub 1k priced projectors that are pretty good. Don't forget you will need a good projector screen and needs to be figured into the budget. The screen has a huge effect on the overall quality of picture so don't underestimate the importance of the screen.The only sub 1k projector I would recommend is the Optoma hd20! , its a true 1080p projector with reasonable light output. You will need to have complete control of the lighting in the room again to get the best image.The first thing you will want to decide on is the size and aspect ratio of the screen. The size should be determined by the sitting distances, and the aspect ratio should be determined by the material you will be displaying. 2;35 to 1 is the hottest aspect ratio screens you will see in the hi-end home theaters, but you need to have a projector that can adjust for the different aspect ratio screens. in the sub 1k projectors you looking at using 16:9 aspect ratio screens.A good source is Projector central on choosing screen sizes and good reviews on projectors.Kevin 40 years hi-end audio video specialist...Show more
Hubert Jestes: There are lots of reviews and info at:http://www.projectorcentral.com/home-theater-multi...I bought an Epson Powerlite 8100 Projector for $1,100 about 6 months ago and I love it. You need! a dark room for any projector in this price range and a decen! t screen is a lot better than a white wall. Screens can be had for as little as $200 (I bought a powered screen for around $400). Of course, you also need a receiver for sound with any projector....Show more
Pam Rampadarat: Go online to Home Theater Magazine and read the reviews on projectors. I have been using a Panasonic projector for many years, it is one of the recommended projector in the mid range price. Keep in mind that projectors need a dark room to be effective and you also need a projector screen. The lamps on the projector only last about 2,000 hours and the cost of the replacement lamp starts at around $50 to $300. Keep in mind, you get what you pay for. Hope this will help you out....Show more
Jefferson Sarson: http://www.crutchfield.com/p_278HC8350/Epson-Power...This is the best projector around $1000 you can buy, but be warned, it still isn't a great projector. Quality projectors are very expensive. Think about it like this, a very high end 65-! inch Panasonic Plasma panel is around 5,000. For a projector to put out picture quality equal to that plasma panel, you will have to spend at least 2-4x as much as the plasma panel, and even more if you want to make a very large projection. However, since you are on a budget, a $30,000 Runco projector is out of the question. If you can persuade the wife to spend a little more, this sony projector will be a BIG step up from the Epson one http://www.crutchfield.com/p_158VPLHW15/Sony-VPL-H... . And on that note, don't but a cheap screen either. Make sure you get a decent screen, or you will be disappointed with the picture quality....Show more
