Which would you have out of this lot?

I'm on a bit of tight budget but want to get myself a projector and for under £650 if poss.

I'm obviously willing to go second hand but there are I belive quite a few available around this price new so I'm after recommendations.

Which projector on the following page what would you recomend and why?

Projectors under £650

Cheers

If DLP projectors don't squeeze your head and leave you free of multi-couloured side effects (rainbows), then the BenQ PB6100 is pretty impressive.

£586.60 inc VAT

If it didn't make me woosie, i'd buy one right now.

It really depends on what you want to use it for. If it's viewing DVD's, TV, and maybe some games playing, then the Benq 6100 is a good pj at 800 x 600 resolution. However, if you would want to connect a PC at any time, I would suggest stretching the budget to include XGA pj's which will do 1024 x 768 resolution, such as the Benq 6200 or similar.

Out of those I would choose the Tosh ET1 for LCD or the Infocus X2 for DLP. Both are very good value for money if DVD is your main source of material.

Thanks for your comments.

I really need it to do a bit of everything Digital Cable TV, PC, DVD and XBox.

Although I've only seen a few PJ's in action I've always prefered the look and feel of DLP's so was amazed to see some within my price range. However after hearing about the possible downside to DLP's on here I decided to play it safe as the wife will be waiting for an excuse not to like it and if it gave her a headache it would never be on.

Anyway I won this one off ebay today....

Anyone seen/have one? Looks a great spec for the price :D
