I know nothing about projectors, but in researching them for KPLUG's needs
and the price range you were in, here are some XGA (1024x768) native resolution
ones you might want to consider. Prices are from Amazon. Bulb costs are from
PresentationMart. Not endorsing either Amazon or PresentationMart as vendors -
just trying to offer a relative price comparison. Weight may be a factor for
the person who hauls it around. None of these models have a DVI video input
(for higher-end video cards). All lamps are rated for 2,000 hours. All come
with an IR remote. My apologies if any info is incorrect. Might consider
changing this thread's subject to "Projectors".
