[Offtopic] Re: Data Projectors

[Brendan BASEGGIO]

Alan,

One of the schools I work at has recently purchased an Epson EMP-S1
projector.  It does XGA, 1200 Lumens and only has a 20 second "cooldown"
process. We have found it pretty bulletproof from a teacher point of
view. Also, keystone correction can be done without devling into the
menus - always a bonus !

Also, the best bit - It is under $2000 - actually about $1800.

Call Catherine @

Brendan.

Can anyone recommend a data projector brand and model they have bought
recently?
And which companies do you recommend?

Requirements are:
Need to work well rooms that are bright (many of our rooms can get
quite a bit
of sunlight) My guess is 1500 to 1800 ANSI lumens min.
Need to be teacher -proof (eg easy to set-up and easy to close down
including
cooldown). Do any  models still exist that you didn't have to wait for
cooldown
before turning off
?
Needs long-life and durable bulb that is not too expensive to replace
We are budgettig for about $2000-$3000. Is this realistic?
