... and I've looked at a lot of projector setups, ranging from $1000 LCD projectors to $20K plus CRT & DLP setups. Of all I've seen the CRT setup was the only one without annoying artifacts or color & contrast problems. The expensive DLP I saw was really, really good, but after a bit of online shopping I picked up a used NEC XG110 for $2000. I haven't dialed it in all the way, but even with preliminary setup it's blowing away anything near what I could get for $2K new. It's a *lot* of work setting it up, though. I'm lucky enough to have access to all kinds of electronic test gadgets from work which make things a bit easier. Used CRT is worth thinking about.

Setup:
Denon DVD-1600->Faroudja DVP-2200->NEC XG110+110" Draper medium-gain screen. Custom Canare cables.
