    I have a 720p projector, at first i had the image projecting onto a cream coloured wall and the image was pretty good. As long as the room is fairly dark you'll get a nice image. Getting a proper screen improves things a great deal though if you can manage the expense.

    Mine was £499 for the PJ, £150 for the screen and £50 for the bracket. So £700ish to get everything. I already had the 5.1 system so i hooked it up via optical cable.

    the one my brother had did have an exelent picture. It was made by Epson but i have no idea of the model number. Looked great, I even used it on my lap top and played somem call of duty, looked fantastic.

    Iv a Benq W500 720p, brilliant machine, only downside is the one HDMI input. Id definitely recommend a projector! Just make sure you have decent curtains!

    I've a Benq W600, which i think is the latest version of the W500, it has 2 HDMI sockets. Really good budget PJ.

    Also have a projector. Mine only does 720p but its still awesome..Ive no screen but a white/cream wall will do.

    my setup came in under 600 for projector/5.1 sound and projector stand(I used a professional photographers stand, works very well).

    I have a Sanyo PLV Z1 which is well old at this stage. I hook it up via component cable and run 720p/1080i. It's bloody great, I even project it onto a dark green wall in my parent's place when I'm down there the odd time and it does the job perfectly well.

    sorry but wat is this 5.1 sound ???? is it like just speakers all around ???????
