I have been looking around for projectors and needed some help - figured flyertalk would be the best place for a good opinion. Found this thread but information is probably a little outdated.

I am looking for a projector for a home theater I am setting up in my walk out (i.e.. decent amount of light) basement. I understand that a few things I should be looking for
1. Sufficient brightness to allow for visibility of image even during daylight. - I am guessing anything above 1200 lumens should be good enough? (is tha a correct assumption?)

2. HD Compatibility - Should be a pretty standard feature in most projectors now.

3. Resolution - XGA is preferable (so I can connect my laptop and work when needed). But SVGA should suffice.

4. Connections - They are all pretty much standard now arent they?

From the research that I did the following seems to be my shortlist (in no particular order)
1. Infocus X2
2. Benq PB6200
3. Dell 2300MP

Now cost is of course a major factor. Of the three above only Infocus is the sub-1000$ projector. Both the others are available for around 1250-1300$

Do you guys have any opinions on the above 3 models? Do you see any model glaringly missing?

Also any recommendations on where to get a good price here in the US would be highly appreciated.

Thanks all!
