So, I've always been a fan of Infocus. I started with the X1 several years back and then stepped up to the IN24. The third projector I've owned for a while is the Infocus IN72 and I've been happy with it. This projector has a ton of features that the lower priced units do not have. It has HDMI, Component, and of course the standard S-video. It is only a 480p projector but will support an image up to 1080i. I can fairly say that the image that this unit throws is quite awesome. It looks much better than my 720p TV.

So, I've really been thinking about selling the Infocus and making a step up to a new projector. I'm one of those people that is constantly upgrading my system or making changes. It's my hobby and I love the process of hooking up new gear and making tweaks to the system.

What would you guys suggest for a decent projector in the $800-1000 range? I know I won't be able to get top shelf gear but know that with recent price drops I could get something fairly nice.

Thanks for any input.
