Best place to buy Projectors

Hey Guys, i'm in the market for a projector.
Sub 1000e mark, basically gonna watch hd movies on it and play xbox etc....

I was dreaming of this projector

The Panasonic PT-AE3000U Projector, but it's around about the 2000e mark so a bit too pricey.

Any one got any better ideas?

When I bought my projector a few years ago (where I can't recall), I found the techno nerds on this forum to be invaluable.

It's forums can be incredibly specialist and people can give you ideas you would never have thought of eg someone told me an Argos black out blind for €30 would make an good projector screen, I bought it and they were right.

First, figure out which model of projector you would like to buy, then do price comparison on google.com
From my past experience, I was looking for BENQ MP522ST, it costs so much more expensive here in ireland, the UK was kind of favourable but they dun do delivery across, so I checked the price from ALL over europe, checking prices in Spanish/Portuguese/Italian/Deustch (using google translate to find the translation of "PRICE"), in the end, I found a website from Spain that costs some 100 euros less, so I bought my projector from that Spanish website.
the projector works perfectly and no problem at all, the only thing you have to get is just a power cable.
This is the website I used to buy my projector:
http://www.isinformatica.es/
USE GOOGLE TRANSLATE to read the site, though not exact translation, u can guess.
They may ask you Qs in Spanish, again use Google Translate to help...
hope my advice helps

Hi,

I'm also in the market for a projector (€500 - €1000). Any new places in the last 6 months or any new tips of where to get a competitively priced projector shipped to Ireland. Amazon in the states seems to be the cheapest but they don't deliver here ;o(

Go Team!

Have you had a look at the Optoma HD200X or the HD20? They seem to get good reviews in the sub-£1000 1080p category.

US prices always seem attractive but by the time you add on duty and VAT there is often not a huge difference to the best EU prices.

Hey hey,

Thanks a lot for the reply, I was thinking of getting an LCD one as I'm worried about the rainbow effect. I checked out those links and they seem great but they are almost €1,000 each, they are about $1,000 in the states, Could get a flight over to the states for the difference and have a "free" holiday! I'm off to check out flights.....

Go Team!
