1. Price


How much are you willing to spend for a FP? Unlimited?... jump to Projector type, otherwise exclude the models that do not fit into your budget. Nevertheless, sometimes price is not a yes or no answer either, and therefore bang for the buck comes in mind. Bang for the buck means reading reviews, owners' experiences and opinions… not only manufacturer's specs.
Do not forget to add to budget possible extra cost of screen(s), cable(s), stand, calibration software and hardware, anamorphic lens (2.35:1 setup), video processor, darkening your room…
