Epson EH-TW4000 (6500UB in USA) is great I hear & is 165k & a 100" screen is 30-35k

My friend bought a Optoma HD65 Projector from Malaysia and believe me, its awesome. Amazing colours and clarity(from High definition 1080P source)!! I think he got it for 60 grand or something not sure...

^That's a 720p source.

do consider the Dell Dell? 1609WX Projector

This is widescreen as well.

Around 45K here. With india warranty n all. DaLite screens would be starting around 10K. A close friend has the same setup and it sure is decent at that pricepoint.

Optoma Projectors: Optoma HD65 DLP projector says 1080P supported. My friend also told me it supports 1080p/60

1+ for HD65. It is 720p projector. Not 1080p, but, of course, it does take in the 1080p signal and downscales it to 720p. I have been using one for a few months. You can get it from Techtronics people. I got it dead cheap after a really hard bargain for 62k, 1 year warranty, 1 year free insurance.
