I had to go to Fry's for something else, so I checked out the projectors. We could purchase a small Sharp for about $749 + tax. 1024 X 768 1800 Lumens. There was one more spec, but I don't remember what it was. They had three models, which had no apparent difference, I think they were $749, $799 and $899. > How difficult and expensive is it to replace the bulbs? I didn't ask this question.
