Panasonic PT-AE900U Home Theater Projector
Well worth it!!
I've been using this projector for 6 months now.  Not just for movies but regular tv (also HDTV) and xbox 360.  I have about 600 hours on the bulb.  A few times the unit didn't want to turn on and I thought the bulb had burned out (see other reviews) but I let it sit for a couple of minutes and it turned on with no problems.  In my opinion, DVD's, xbox and the HD channels are projected beautifully!  I never knew a projector could look so good.  With the price of this projector continually falling, the deal just gets better and better.  My neighbor spent $3,500 on a 50\\" plasma, I don't think his picture (HD) is any better than mine and less than half the size (my screen is a 120\\" widescreen).  I spent a total of $2,400 for my projector, screen and cables.  Even if I have to buy 2 bulbs a year it will take over 2 years before I equal what he paid and I've still got twice the screen size!  I'll take that anytime!!<br />We are very happy with this unit, quiet, clear picture, better price!<br /><br />Update:  We used this projector for over three years, no issues with bulbs at all.  First one lasted nearly 2 years.  Still on the second one.  I highly recommend this projector!
