First, I'm a bit of a newbie here -- I've read quite a bit but haven't posted much. I am amazed at the collective knowledge within these forums and as I enter week two of building a dedicated addition to my house for a home theater, I've got to ask a question regarding what appears to be an unserved market for home theater projectors:
Are there any affordable 1080p DLP projectors that can light up a 120" wide AT screen (assume 1.1 gain) for sports viewing in some ambient light??
Seems like you either have to give up DLP (not good if you want to watch fast-moving sports action), give up resolution, give up an AT screen setup, or pony up some major dollars. Am I right?
I would think that there would be a HUGE calling for an affordable projector that could fill this bill. I also recognize that I'm asking a lot and that only recently have we seen 1080p quality projectors become affordable. Is this then the Holy Grail for projector manufacturers? Who comes the closest? BenQ W5000/W20000? Infocus IN83?
Let me say thanks in advance to all of you who may take a minute of your time to weigh in on this one.
