Best cheap projector for pc connection!?

Hi all,
it's been some years since I bought my Epson TW10H after good reviews on here and its serving me well!

My boss is now looking for a pj mainly for his kids to watch movies and stuff via a pc, probably a dvd player hooked up to it as well somehow.

I looked at the epsons but then saw the tw20 gets bad comments for pc connectivity.

Is this the case?!
what else would people recommend. ideally looking sub £450-500,

thanks

Noel

I can definitely recommend one of these, I hook mine up to both pc and dvd using the dvi slot with great results, I purchased it after reading positive comments on this forum, and at the current price you will be quids in

The new Optoma Movietime DV11 is worth a look. Simple to use and has inbuilt DVD player.
The Acer XD1150 looks like one of the cheapest DLP projectors with more than 1500 Ansi Lumens brightness. Worth a look?
I'm sure many other members will have other suggestions.
Hope this helps.

Seconded - just bought a W100 - connecting Wii and DVD via component, and about to get a DVI cable to see how the PC looks at 800x600...

Projector is FAR better than I could have hoped for!
