HELP with projectors and screens!!

Hi, I'm redoing a part of my basement, and I am including a theater room. I just wanted to know what a good projector was and get some ideas about it, etc. etc. I need to know good projectors along with a screen that will fit counterpart. Please no t.v.'s I want something big for it, so price isn't really to big a problem, but keep it reasonable.

Thanks for all the help.

Yea, I realized that, but I would only use it for movies, and "big" events on T.V.

For gaming I am all covered, and I won't be using it for that (T.T) just for that reason.

I have been using a projector for video gaming and television, and my lamp is hardly more than halfway empty after two years of using it. They are quite expensive to replace, but make no mistake, they last for quite a long time.

I use an Optoma DX625. It works great, and even comes with an adapter for component HD cables for your next-gen game consoles. Sadly no HDMI port, but adapters can be purchased that use the DVI plug for HDMI. They retail for about $850; I bought mine at Costco :P

If you absolutely NEED hdmi, Optoma makes a different version of the 625 that replaces the DVI with an HDMI (I believe it's called the ED625, but I may be wrong); you order it off their site, and it costs roughly the same. Either way, I would definately recomend this projector if you are looking for an affordable yet efficient home theater setup.

By the way!!!!!

I am looking for something with 1080 p quality. thanks

(sorry for dp)

As far as my screen goes, I used a multi-purpose vynal fabric. Constructed the screen frame from 2x4's and stapled the cloth to it from the outer parts of the wood. The 120-inch screen cost me about $100 and the 90-inch screen I made later cost about $50, it was cheaper due to the fact that the fabric I bought fit better width wise. It wasn't larger than the roll so I didn't have to buy 2 strips of cloth.
