I don't have any particular recommendations, but an experience that may be helpful.
We have several LCD projectors, about three and a half years old, which are on nine hours per day every day. About two years into the life of these projectors, the LCD panels required replacement at a cost of $800 each. Now the replacement LCDs are starting show the same discoloration. I have been told that this is just something that happens with LCD projectors. It has been recommended by a local dealer that we replace them with DLP projectors, but the funds are not available for that yet. You may contact me off list if I may be of more assistance.

Hi all, In the next two years my museum will be hosting exhibitions that incorporate still images and video. Part of the artistic vision for the exhibitions is to use ceiling mounted projectors, rather than video monitors, to display the images and video. This is the first time we will have attempted something like this, and I'd like to make sure we get the proper equipment. There are so many projectors on the market, and I'm curious if the list as a preference toward a particular brand or vendor. DLP, CRT or LCD? Is there an HD option that we should invest in?
