What is the best HD Projector and screen to buy?

Question

I want HD, or LCD with a good price, that I can watch tv and play games on.

Answer 1

The Mitsubishi is very good. You should also check out the   Panasonic PT-AE2000U. You can find reviews and guides at http://www.projectorcentral.com/home-the...

Answer 2

Mitsubishi HC5000.  Unbelievable quiet.  Amazing Picture.  You wont waste any money going to the movies after you buy this machine.  Can run up to about 2 grand though and then you will need speakers and screen on top of that.  If you can afford it you wont be disappointed.

Answer 3

The consensus is that the best 1080p projector for the dollar is the Epson Home Cinema 1080 UB (See first link for a typical review) ... although there are other good choices .. particularly if you are willing to spend more (See 2nd link).

That said, HD projectors include 720p models (not just 1080p) and cost significantly less.

The "BEST" projector is a very personal decision though (which is why I haven't pointed to a specific brand/model ... other than the Epson) because each model has differences that may make it "better" for your needs / tastes than another.

See the reviews at the two linked sites and look for comparative reviews since they point out the relative strengths and weaknesses.  I know it's easier to have someone say "buy this one", but you owe it to yourself (given the money involved) to do the work of defining your needs (based on space available, room conditions, budget, intended programming, personal taste, etc) to define your needs then assess available models against the resulting criteria.

Same for screens. The BEST is arguably a Stewart screen, but Carada, Da-Lite and others are better value for the money, and a DIY screen (many options here) may be the best of the lot (on a value for money basis).  See the last link for more.
