Alright, I really like the Mitsubishi XD300U

Here is the data sheet: http://www.projectorcentral.com/Mits..._ColorView.htm

I can get it for $2695 with free shipping.

The only drawback is that there is NO DVI input. Is DVI essential for DLP projectors or will Component suffice?

I just saw my friends setup with a Sanyo PLV-1 with component and it looked very nice (110 inch screen on a gray wall) - watched LOTR:FOTR - the orc battle scene at Gimli's homeland area (VERY DARK) and very beautiful with ambient light. And the Mits I'm looking at has an even better light output.

I am a BIG fan of Mits., having owned an RPTV from them for 7 years without one issue.

Tell me what you think!
