As many threads that have come before it, I am starting a thread looking for some assistance in determining my next pj purchase.
I'm considering the following options, and note that the numbers provided in this comparison table are very rough approximations gathered from projectorreviews, hometheater, and this forum and are meant to provide comparative grounds. Having said that, if there is a number listed that is extremely different from your understanding, please let me know.
I'd appreciate any suggestions, opinions, additional information on the HC5, or alternate pj's to consider. Thanks, and thanks for all the information I have already received from many members here through PMs.

- I have a light controlled dedicated theater(flat black paint, and black velvet 8' out from the screen on the ceiling & walls). I have a 115", 1.0 gain elune vision reference screen. My throw distance is 17.5'. I always watch with the lights off.
- My priorities are 2d picture quality, inky blacks, high on/off contrast, and low input lag. The reason for my upgrade at this point is because I was finding dark scenes to look washed out and lacking any punch on my Optoma HD8600. I'm sure I will miss the HD8600's punch on brighter scenes.
- Viewing habits - Blu-rays (20%), HDTV (40%), HDTV Sports (20%), Gaming (20%).
- I currently have no interest in 3d.
