Projectors?

I'm looking to build a home theater.Thinking of going with a projector for the screen size and money advantages.I know really nothing about them though.I would like something that can play dvd's,video games and the ocational tv show via sat. reciever when my wife is getting her hsn groove on.Is this possible to run these things through a projector?I don't want to spend a gr8 deal of money on the projector..3 to 8 hundred.Used or demo are fine.Any sugjestions would be gr8..thanks

I guess going with LCD OR Plasma,on a little smaller size and saving for a better projector makes the most sense.Thanks for everyones time.

Be patient. Prices are dropping rapidly. What used to cost $25K 5 years ago, can now be had for $2K. Be patient, I suspect the rate of price falls to continue, with even better picture quality, better reliability, easier maintance and set up. That is, unless of course, the US dollar doesn't hold up it's end of the bargain.

I use a Sharp XR-20X Projector. It throws an incredible image from 25 feet away onto a 240 inch diagonal screen. Very bright projector. You can buy them for around $800 at Fry's Electronics. Killer bang for buck projector. Plays 720p and 1080i.

You will love this projector.
