Cheap DLP Projectors for home cinema

Hi all

Does anyone have any info on where I can acquire a cheap DLP projector (or an LCD one if the quality is good)?

Why DLP? LCD is an outgoing (albeit very slowly) technology so is markedly cheaper all round. The only true downside is the chickenwire effect and the Panny AE500 has a widget which stops this. They are £1600 retail, www.komplett.co.uk have grey imports from the Netherlands for £1050 charges all included - you may get the wrong plug, but it`s easily changed. This is best if you have a progressive scan source (i.e. a home theatre pc or dvd player capable of it, but they aren`t cheap) otherwise they also do the AE300 (also uses the chicken wire widget and has a slot for direct viewing of SD cards) for £775.50 which is jsut as good for interlaced sources.

Bang for bucks, it`s LCD

Whereabouts you based, I have a DLP projector gathering dust, I bought it on a whim and the following week bought a 42" Plasma, has only been used for ~50 hrs, it`s a User 1080 DLP (I think!) have remote/carry case, etc. Would be interested in a trade or sale.

Mail me if at all interested etep[at]moc.eiwocp

For £150 more you could get a UK ThemeScene H30 or the Screenplay 4800. Both great DLP projectors.

Your optimistic eyes seem like paradise to someone like me.

Dell 2200MP is probably cheapest DLP you can get. Has got pretty good reviews from what I have seen. Thinking about buying one. Has anyone got one of these?
