Just curious if any of those sub $1500 projectors for business presentations work any decent as budget home theater projectors?I'm trying to come up with an angle that my employer might buy into for business use - with the benefits of me keeping it at home for after hours use. ;-)

The answer is an unqualified - YES. I bought a Sanyo PLV-Z1 (they're on Z3 now) for about 1k over a year ago, and absolutely enjoy it. There are new projectors both LCD and DLP by Panasonic, BenQ,Sanyo and others that are available now in that price range that outperform my projector on paper by a lot, so I can only imagine how nice the picture on those must be.If you have the room, get one. Price is no longer an issue on screens or projectors.

I bought an optima h-30 3 mo's ago and could not be more impresed. I am now buying window black out treatments to control the day time light and then I will use the projector for all my video needs.I used goo systems paint for the screan and now my wall is a 8' by 4' movie theater!Am I bias ? Could be but this is the best bang for the buck in video I have seen.

There were new DLP projectors demoed at CES from TI, InFocus and Mitsubishi that use white LEDs instead of a projector bulb, and are the size of a large paperback book. They are currently made for presentation use, as they have a maximum resolution of 800x600 (not enough for 1080p highdef) I think in a couple years everyone will be using white LED's for the same reason companies are moving away from CRT's. You'll probably see very high resolution LED based projectors for under $1000 soon.

HI,
Great post.
I have noticed that the recent crop of 'Budget'Projectors has really grown in the marketplace and prices are dropping all the time.
As for quality i think some models would be ideal for home use as long as they have component video input or dvi.The lumens and contrast ratio has also been increased, I paid $7000 for a Sanyo unit when the market was fairly new for home cinema use.
Compared to modern day equivelants it has far less Lumens brightness and is huge in size.I have owned 3 types of modern projectors including ones from INFOCUS and Sharp.
The Infous LP720 was an old unit but i had great results from it.
I guess resolution and bulb life are the key features to look for,
Talking of bulb life i did manage to mod the infoucs projector by taking the original bulb and its holder out,Then replaced it with a standard 100 what halogen house light and transformer.
Then i added a playstation 1 heatsink to the lamp housing and this gave 2000 hrs bulb life for $3.The picture is pretty good aswell.
If you like diy projectors there is a great site on the net:
www.lumenlabI think the current market for sub $1500 projectors is pretty good for office or home, Infact the office type may have slightly upper hand in being able to handle higher resolutions for the pc or laptop presentations so dvd would look cool.?
