Start with the Optoma HD25-LV.
Also maybe the Viewsonic PJD7820HD

I'm just thinking that if the 5030 is in your budget, then it's one of the best projectors out on the market in the sub $3,000 class and is ideal for the dedicated home theater environment. If you want a real light cannon, the Panasonic AR100 or the Epson 8345 are both solid models, but would be of minimal upgrade to the Z4 compared to the 5030 (or Panasonic's AE8000).Quote:

thanks a lot for the replies! as i said, i'm no PJ noob so i'm aware of all the issues...i just want something brighter while maintaining the z4 picture quality at a minimum (it's actually not that bad, just really dark). that epson 5030 looks pretty good and is locally available which is a plus.
it's too bad my room is so fixed but that's what it is.
