Ok here is my situation, i want a projector for my room but i dont want to spend too much money.. anything under 1000 would be great or not much over as i need to ship to Queensland australia too.. i need the projector to be mounted on the ceiling a maximum of 3.5m from the wall and would like the screen approx 105 inches wide, and about 60 inches high... i would also like it to support high def (PS3, so blue ray) and i know im being picky now but i dont make much money so a relitively cheap lamp price would be good haha.. thanks for any help or input (DLP or LCD)

EDIT: my room is very dark if i make it .. but i will be using the pj at night time 90% of the time

Right now the Mitsubishi HC1500 is on clearance for way less than $1000 and the HC1600 and the Optoma HD65 are around $1000.

yer but the max width i could prolly get is maybe 85 inches.. wih height of 50 inches,..and thats a fair chunck smaller than "less than ideal"

this is my room.. (birds eye on the left , projector wall on the right (as a profile)) very basic i know.. this was with the movie mate 72 as you can see but i found out later that is cant be mounted upside down... and i will prolly have a ps3 anyway..(for dvd's)

dam cant see the blue details.. (16:9 ratio) grey is 4:3
throw=3.4m
diag=340cm
vert=165cm
hor=295cm

no semi short throw HD compatible projectors for around 1000????

Optoma 7100 is the only one I could find that fits your room . If you can find one. The next closest is the Epson HC720 at 96" wide

The moviemate 72 works but it's table or shelf mount only. You can't put it on the ceiling.

yer which sucks bigtime.. so what if i moved my bed towards the projector wall and put a shelf behind it.. so a throw of maybe... 3.8-3.9m.. as cheap as possible.. as long as i can get the most out of my ps3

Take a look at the Sharp DT-510. It might do the trick.
