I wouldn't get that projector, because its DLP as has the rainbow effect(seeing the color wheel on your screen). Also it only has a 800x600 resolution so for like xbox360 or computer games it wouldn't look that good. I suggest the Sanyo PLV-Z2, everyone seems to love it.

that sayno projector just ISNT bright enough, if you've owned a bright LCD projector (1500 lumens+) then you'd NEVER buy a projector w/less lumens.. i'd say 1500 is a minimum
 
the sanyo has 800 but if u have the lights off and u can control the light from outside then it doesn't matter
 
ahh, well as far as the res. all the ones in my price range are only 800x600. maybe I just wont get one if u guys dont think I would like it..

price range is around 700.00


but that one does have 1800 lumins, what is the main things to worry about?


edit what better-worse. lcd or dlp?
 
IMHO LCD is better for PC stuff, and DLP is better for video. DLP just seems to have a smoother video play back. Also, the contrast on DLP is great, it shows black very well.

as for the 800 - 600, how would that effect the x-360? It wouldnt if you go through regular composite video inputs.

The most important is the brightness, yes, an 800 will do in the a dark room and it will show w/e you're projecting ok.

but if you want it to be like a regular TV and resinate off the screen, you're going to want somthing brighter.

i've owned a ton of LCD projectors ( i have 3 for sale now in the hardware section) and pretty much, i have a 1500 lumen for about a 10 foot diagonal screen in my basement, its AMAZING with the lights off, and its pretty good with a few lights on.

But i also have 2500 lumen projector that i use with a 25 foot screen in my backyard, overall i've tried the 1500 lumen outside, and it works, but you need the brighter projector which in turn, overall you really want the brightest projector for your money.
