The Best?

Possibly a Sim2 C3X 3 Chip DLP

As you will probably look in horror at the price you better state your budget so the best for your money can be suggested.

Also, why not 1080p?

[ChiSharpe]

not 1080p is i dont really wanna go over 1k. iv got about 500 and im not sure how good the low end 1080p are

[dj-dulux]

Well thats the 720 C3X Lite out the window then.......... Great machine..... Around £9k.....

Dupe...

For 500 quid go for either the Optoma HD65 or the Planar 7010, probably the best in that price range.

I'm using a Sharp Z12000 Mk II which is 720p. If you can find one it should be priced around the £1k mark.

Some other high end 720p's to look out for are

Yamaha DPX 1100/1200/1300
Marantz 12S3/12S4
Benq 8720
Any Sim2 720p model from the past two years

Good luck with your purchase.

An Infocus IN76 plus screen and AV equipment should set you back around the £1k mark. The picture it throws is really very impressive

[daveblade]

Tried the epson tw700 very good projector also come with 3years warrenty onsite repair or replace and a spare bulb within the the 3years and that retails for around the £1000 mark

[ShanePJ]

Do forget you receive a 3 year manufacturers warranty on the Themescene HD65 and thats currently costing around the £459 - £599 price point.

Well how about something like a Sanyo Z5? £600 from Ivojo plus plenty spare if you require a screen and a proper surround sound setup..? or a Blu-ray player...

..and I'd certainly agree with Shane on the HD65, similar performance to the HD70( which is still a fantastic projector for the money) you can't really go wrong at that kind of price. Either of the above projectors can be "bettered" maybe within a stict £1000 price point but you won't be getting twice the performance for twice the money put it that way..
