My old infocus 5700 is on its last legs and I need to replace it. Its the last bit of my system that has yet to be upgraded.
Screen size is 203 cm X 113cm (ie ~ 16:9) and is approx 5.2 m from the ceiling mounted projector.
These dimensions are fixed as all the wires and the screen are installed into the ceiling

Main requirements:

HDMI
component
quiet

Will be using it for dvd / blue ray and sky HD

Budget - Max £6k but ideally cheaper

Suggestions gratefully received....

The JVC DLA-HD750 would fit that screen size, throw distance and budget.

Keep Planar 8150 and Infocus IN83 as well in list. Cheaper and great PJs. Try to demo all and see which one you prefer.

Why do you need component? Are you not going via an amp that can cross convert component to HDMI?

Using an arcam fmj AV9 - the menus run on the component output....so I need to keep this for setup on the processor

All video inputs are going via hdmi

I'll take on board the suggestions and demo all three - based on spec alone at this stage I'll probably go for the jvc - but the demo's will be the decider.

thanks ++++

got it for £5k incl ceiling mount.

its full HD, whisper quiet and 1:50,000 contrast...

in reality its a fantastically cinematic projector which is good with DVD and amazing with blu-ray...
