I've been asked to order some extra-bright video projectors, and I'm
not having much luck finding comparisons of which are decent and
which are crap.

The projectors I have now are from 1000 lumens to 1500 lumens
with contrast ratios of 1200:1 and better, and the new units need
to be at least 3000 lumens and at least 1000:1 contrast, with a
minimum native XGA resolution and able to interpolate 1280x1024.

I compiled a list of projectors for my boss, and based just on the
published specs I provided him, he highlighted the Mitsubishi XD470U-G,
InFocus IN1102, Optoma EP771, and ViewSonic PJ260D, but he asked
me to make sure they're good choices.

Does anyone have experience with these models, and would you
recommend any of them? Would you reommend avoiding any of them?
Are there better choices you can suggest
While I don't have the experience with those, a couple of things to consider is how it is going to be used. Can it store an extra bulb, and what is the cost of a spare bulb. You remember the Compaq unit I used to get from work. That got pretty beaten up and continued to work well. The only problem was the front support was broken. I would also stick with the Boss' recommendations because i the unit craps out, you can always point back at him ;-).
