Panasonic PT-AE4000U 1600 Lumen LCD Home Theater Projector
I did an unbelievable amount of research on home theater projectors over the course of about a year beginning on a projector about half the price of this and slowly making my way to this model before deciding that this was the one. I've never bought a projector before so I didn't want to jump in and buy one for $6,000+ or anything, but I'm a movie geek so I still wanted the best that I could possibly get on a reasonable budget. I am overjoyed to report that this projector was beyond my wildest expectations.
I own a Samsung Touch of Red LCD screen that is the envy of everyone who comes over and sees it, but this blows that out of the water (projected 100" onto a fixed 16:9 screen). Colors are bright and the image is crisp with great contrast. Although I did calibrate it and got the image to look slightly better, I found that it wasn't really too necessary as the out of the box Color 1 setting was tuned well enough.
I will say this about it though, it's huge. Although it doesn't weigh a great deal, the physical size of this thing is gigantic. I also had some difficulty getting a universal projector mount to fit and hang right with it, but I guess that's not entirely its fault as I'm sure others more experienced had no troubles.
