Question projecter under £300

hi im decorating my room having a little move around and want would like an HD projector to go in there on my xbox 360 and tv and computer. just wondering waht my best buy would be? ive been looking round but its so hard to find the perfect one? i would like one that has a 16:9 format in HD on the xbox 360 and 16:9 on the tv
i might be able to put my budget up a bit but around £300 would be the limit
i have a 100 inch wall to project on and the projector can be placed upto 10ft back from it
thanks for any help
Brad

Your not going to get a HD projector for £300. You will for just under £500.

Re: projecter under £300

Even a 720p PJ will be hard to find for 300 quid unless it is second hand of course.

Re: projecter under £300

CyberHeater, there was a thread about this pj here.

I didn't look through the whole thing so don't know how detailed it is, but hope it helps...

It's not true 720p. The resolution is just 800 x 600.
