Cheap Simple Projector - Blu-ray Forum

jbute2k2 · 02-18-2009, 02:06 AM

Hey all I am looking for just a cheap projector, it doesnt need to be HD or anything. I just want something that will have some kind of longevity and is somewhat mobile. Obviously I want something that is going to be worth my $. Any suggestions?

Well if it's cheap then you can find any at Office Depot.

Cheap HD projector (720p) http://www.buy.com/prod/acer-ph530-d...203388289.html

That's what I currently have an I'm pretty happy, it's definitely a good price if you want HD.

You should be able to find a cheap, NEW 480p capable projector... don't go used because the price of the bulbs just isn't worth it.

720p capable, and under $500

The one I just bought is the Epson Moviemate 55. it has a built in DVD player and speakers. You can also hook up external players through component and do up to 1080i. I paid 573.00 for it. Works great. I got mine at HH Gregg who price matched Sams Club.

The projector I own is the Mitsubishi HC 1600. It's 720p/1080i. $700 on Amazon, and I love the quality.
