Sorry, another what TV thread, sort of...

[Sixpackpert]

Decided to not get a new TV.

Instead we are looking at projectors. We are on a budget so the full HD ones are out (for the moment).

Been looking at the Optoma HD65 http://www.dixons.co.uk/product.php?sku=187050&amp.... Anyone got one?

Also if anyone knows of a good alternative for circa 500 sheets then please speak up!

We need to connect a Humax HD recorder (HDMI), a standard (not Bluray) DVD home cinema (HDMI) and a Wii (Component). I will probably have to get a HDMI switch but that's no probs. What's the longest run of HDMI you can do before needing repeaters?

Cheers all.

Pint of Old Spot on the counter for you.

Now about that advice...

If your on a budget check reviews for lamp life and replacement cost.
My Infocus X2 was cheap but the lamps only lasted a few hundred hours each.

Have you looked on the Gadget Show website? They tested these a little while ago

Thanks guys.

The in-laws have got the Infocus X9. The lamps last 3000 hours in eco mode, same as the Optoma, but cost 3 times as much as the Optoma lamps!

Anymore info or things to look out for?
