Hello mates ,Been thinking about buying a budget projector for a while.basically shortlisted to a short throw Benq w1080st or w1080st+.. Had to give it a pass for the last few deals on 1080st when they were on $999 with 2 3d glasses. Now i have seen a 1080st+ with glasses for $1340 delivered in myprojectors.com.au with 2 year local warranty.Any reviews on the seller? Benq website doesn't give enough info about their distributors (when we filter for projectors)..Elite electronics and cplonline too have prices around $1300..How are these guys? ..Looking for your valuable suggestions..

Use the Projector calculator on Projector Central to ensure that the Short Throw models are actually what you want for your desired screen size and room layout.

Personally I don't like the DLP projectors.. The rainbow effect isn't huge for me, when I watch at a friend's place, but I think I'd get annoyed by it if I "had to" use it every day.
@wildbobcat - If you don't need/want Short Throw, the cheapo Benq W1070(?) puts out a good picture for less than $1000 and the lower end Home Theatre Epson LCD PJ's are in the same $1300 price range, so definitely worth looking at.@scubacoles- Any idea on how the led projectors are..There is an LG one for $1600
No idea, I would imagine comparatively dim though.
I think it's too early for LED..
I have heard the LED projectors are alot bigger than DLP. But should last a lot longer.
I'm still waiting for a deal on 4K projectors. I think the cheapest from Sony is still around $10k, just a tad above my budget. Any year now the price will drop below $3k.
I am looking for the same thing so interested to hear the comments here…
