Re: Cheap projectors - Whats important?

At this price point you're not going to get high resolution, so stick WVGA resolution with good quality picture.
The Hitachi is a no no - this is intended for business presentations, and doesn't have the features you want for home use (quiet fan, high contrast, av connections, native widescreen). The Benq W100 is probably the best projector picture quality wise for this price, but check you can put it somewhere convenient in your living room as the optical zoom doesn't leave much room to adjust. The Benq website will probably have a tool you can use to determin this.
