I always think it's good to read reviews about a possible purchase,as they give you a fair idea of what to look for.I have also been looking at projectors,so i went through 3 years of homecinemachoice/home entertainment/what tv,video.I never bothered with projector reviews before,and it had made a big difference.Lcd projectors weakness is contrast..blacks are not true black,even greyish,and the colour range lacks the in your face quality.Dlp projectors are more expensive with better contrast,but have a 'rainbow effect',seemingly visible to some and not others.If you see it,it will be a rainbow which appears every few seconds,ie totally distracting.Crt projectors are very expensive and have to be permanently installed,and need regular servicing.Best possible quality,but they are big!!,and need a ceiling installation.Also go for a true 16:9 projector,as the 4:3 projectors simply letterbox widescreen films,losing resolution.After all i read,there is nothing i would buy at present,unless i could get a cheap Sanyo PLV-60.The new Panasonic seems to have a lot of hopes pinned on it,and it will be reviewed very soon.

Laserline (www.laserline.uk.com).

You are right, having a projector kicks TVs ass. BTW though mine is only an LCD model, having a grey screen helps to blacken the greys and in contrast the whites have much more clarity. Everything does, so the image is superb.

I've just purchased a Sony VPL-HS1 from www.dabs.com
10 months interest free credit. I got one with a free screen.

I am amazed with the picture quality, I was going to purchase a RPTV but changed my mind after a bit of research and am I glad I did.

As Napoleon advises, do some research and also check out www.avforums.com lots of help there.

Good luck:)
