As others have said, for the price you mentioned, JVC NP5 and Epson LS12000 are your best choices.

That being said, both have drawbacks that should be considered.

The LS12000 is not and will never be 3D capable. The Epson does have great HDR handling, but as others mentioned it does not have dynamic tone mapping. Whether that is something that can be dialed in with firmware down the road is debatable. But it is laser based, So no bulb-color-bias, less heat and noise, and no lamp purchases to worry about.

The JVC NP5 DOES have 3D and dynamic tone mapping, but it is lamp based and those lamps are not cheap, at least not in my opinion.

After all those considerations, both of these will produce a fantastic image that will knock your socks off.

Happy Hunting.
