Asking if you can combine a price match with a coupon is too generic of a question....that is such a YMMV question, it can't be answered without giving a specific situation and store.
I don't think there are any unknown price search engines beyond the well known ones.
Here's my generic advice. 1) Decide what you can afford to spend. 2) Determine what you want in a picture (black levels, contrast, accurate color etc)...no projector is perfect, esp. if you are looking at price as the main factor. 3) Are there any room limitations for projector placement?
Here are some suggestions once you've determined the above factors and narrowed your choices down to a list. Is there a projector that would be that next level up, but out of your price range...
1) Consider jumping into the used market. There are terrific opportunities through the classified forum here at AVS. There are members who want the latest and greatest, so they upgrade quite often.
2) Buy last years version of the higher end model, when the new models are released. Sometimes dealers will sell their demo units to make way for the new model in their demo room
3) Buy a refurb unit from an authorized dealer. You can combine that purchase with a reputable extended warranty coverage. (ie mack camera). This is what I did.
BTW: Though it's not always enforced. AVS doesn't want the forum to be a focus on where, who to buy the cheapest or price shopping site. The focus is on performance and more technical side of the hobby. Don't be surprised if the thread gets locked or deleted....which is fair considering the rules/focus of AVS.
