I recently had the opportunity to audition several brands of multi-media projectors for my company given a budget of 300T.
I really liked the In-Focus models especially one that was as small as a landline telephone. Among the brands I tested (Sanyo, Optoma, Panasonic, Epson etc), the In-Focus models appeared to be best in design and build quality. But I eventually opted for the Optoma EZPro 755, a 2000 lumens, XGA DLP due to its value for the money, features, and aftersales support. We got it for 245T.
The thing is I'd buy a big top-end TV or even a plasma one before I'd buy any of these projectors for HT use. Why? The projector bulb. These 2000 lumens bulbs will last you around 2000 hours, the last half of which hindi na ganoon ka bright (based on my experience with a bulky old In-Focus model). Easy enough to replace the bulb, but for 30T a pop, huwag na lang.
Sure you can buy the cheaper 1200 or 1600 lumens models but hindi masyadong sharp ang picture and it gets worse the more you use it.
