Can anyone name a few acceptable models (1080p) that don't break the bank? Screen size desired, approx 96.

1. Is dlp > lcd?
2. Minimum contrast ratio?
3. Minimum lumen brightness?
4. Will switching be painless, like my tv? I have a hdmi switching receiver that works well with everything I own.
5. All I need to run is power and 1 hdmi?
6. Would 22' be too far, to mount it?
7. Minimum lamplife?
8. Can't mount it 22' away right? I guess not. Ceiling mount.




I would love to mount the projector on the back wall, you can see it here, in this old photo:
