Hi
Im new to all this, Im looking into getting a projector for around £400-£600. Ive been looking on ebay at secondhand ones. It will be used for home movies and in a coach/motorhome.
Where is the best place to get them in the UK?
What do I need to look for?
whats the average price of the lamps?
Thanks
James

Hi, you could get yourself a projector in that price range, but it really will need to be a secondhand one. For that sort of money, you are going to have to probably stay with SVGA resolution.
This is what you are looking for in that price range:
SVGA Resolution
Try and get higher than 300:1 contrast ratio
Try and get 1500 Lumens plus.
Sony VPL-ES projectors
Epson EMP-52 & 73: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=22610&item=3095520622&rd=1
In terms of Lamp life, most projectors get atleast 1300 hours out of a lamp, though more modern ones tend to get closer to 2000 hours. Depending on how often u watch movies, even one every night, it would take you years to use up a lamp, so a projector like the Epson above with only 150 hours will last a long time. Most lamps are in the price range of £150-300.

Well, the Faroudja DCDi chip is excellent. Its a great price for an SVGA projector, probably needs the room to be very dark though, because i think it has a low contrast ratio. Amazing value to think that you can have a huge screen TV for that price though. Add this to it (which i bought) and it turns it into an amazing Home TV system:

They normally retail around £130 or something - excellent bargain i think.
