BenLaw:Hmm, low budget for a 'decent' projector. Quick google search reveals you're unlikely to get Full HD at that price. I would say it's impossible to get anything to compete with your (very good) TV at that budget.
Thanks for the reply. Yes I agree if the projector was fo me, but I forgot to mention it is for my Daughter who has had her garage converted into a room, and the son in law want's to put up a projector for the family. they don't have a lot of funds so want to experience a cinema world without having to pay the earth
So I said I'd do some groundwork and see what the experts have to say.
