| Re: Poor mans projector? Help please
I just picked up an Acer PH530 for around $600 - can't beat it for the $$$. Picture looks fantastic. I'd also consider the Optoma HD70 and the Mitsu HC1500 which are both fantastic projectors and a notch up in performance above the PH530. Both of those can be bought for well under $1k if you search. As far as the screen goes, I have a DIY Do-able board screen from Home Depot and it looks great. I bought some 3.5" base molding and some velvet and made an awesome looking screen for under $100. I also made a screen from some fabric from dazian - cheap and looks great too. If you don't want to make your own screen you should check out Elite screens - they have some very affordable screens as well. Monoprice has great prices and quality cables. Good luck.

Reason: It was velvet, not felt for the screen.
