Looking for a Video Projector

Bill@AudioVision · 27th August 2010

My trusty Panasonic LCD projector is on it's last legs, so I'm looking for a replacement. Needs to be native 1080p, quiet, with good calibration features. Being able to jump from 16:9 to 2.39:1 would be handy. I think I would prefer to avoid DLP as I have one at home and the 'rainbow' effect drives me nuts on high contrast scenes.
Budget: $2k range, if possible.

There are almost now more DLPs in the low price-range anyway.

a good place to start is:
Projectors, Projector Reviews, LCD Projectors, Home Theater DLP Projectors at ProjectorCentral.com
