I would LOVE a cheapish LCD projector to watch films on. Is there a good source for these sorts of things? Even used would be fine. I know new they rarely cost less than £1000 but is there anywhere you can buy them for a few hundred?

Any suggestions appreciated.

Sorry no real suggestions apart from trying to find any local dealers that trade in second hand gear and see if they have taken any projectors as part exchange. I have had a projector now for a few years (bought brand new) and I don't use it as much as I used to but I still like to watch films with it when it's dark enough in the room (no curtains). I was thinking about selling it recently but when I watch it I remember why I bought it (MASSIVE PICTURE).

www.avforums.com - LCD digital projectors...

You might want to look at the Panasonic AE100.... have a look at the screenshots people are posting and their comments.

There's a lot of info on that forum so its worth taking the time to decide on what you want. Large screen home cinema does'nt have to cost a fortune, I run a 114" screen and my mates reckon the picture quality is just as good as the cinema yet my total outlay has been about £1400 in total (including custom home made screen!)

RPTV's suck compared to digital projectors!
